However, it was embroiled in a controversy over the casting. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has raised objections, requesting the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to deny certification to the film. The objection was over the film's casting of Pakistani actors, including Hania Aamir, Nasir Chinyoti, Daniel Khawar, and Saleem Albela.In a letter to the CBFC, Prasoon Joshi, FWICE chief, said, "In light of recent directives issued by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B Ministry), prohibiting Pakistani-origin content and collaboration with Pakistani artistes in Indian productions, and the parallel stance adopted by FWICE, we urge CBFC to align with these directives and national interest considerations before proceeding with certification. We appreciate CBFC's impartial and rigorous certification process and trust that you will give due consideration to this request (sic)."After the Pahalgam attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people, the film bodies, in accordance with the government's directive, announced the prohibition of collaboration with Pakistani actors and technicians. The Pahalgam attack triggered tensions between India and Pakistan.Before 'Sardaar Ji 3', the FWICE enforced a blanket ban on 'Abir Gulaal, a Hindi film, which marked Pakistani actor Fawad Khan's return to Indian cinema.

Another remarked, 'Never spoke a word during the war… now we know why… I liked him but the opinion is now changing highly.' A third asked how Diljit remained quiet after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. 'Downfall is inevitable when success is taken for granted", 'They need support from whole Country but when it comes to give, it's only in the favor of a state', 'Ye Diljit Ko Boycott Karo', 'Hania ko Indian citizenship de hi do. The way she craves popularity in India speaks for itself' 'Take diljit out from #Border2', 'Shameless' were some other reactions. The teaser for the upcoming horror-comedy film introduces the return of a ghost hunter, now assigned to exorcise a spirit from a mansion in the United Kingdom. It opens with a team arriving at one of the UK's most haunted castles, accompanied by a squad of armed soldiers. However, they're swiftly overpowered by a mysterious spirit. Left with no other option, the mansion's owner turns to Dosanjh for help. The teaser then shifts to a comedic sequence featuring Dosanjh's quirky interactions with his live-in witches, who amusingly demand items like a medical kit, a makeup box, and more. In the final scene, Dosanjh confronts the ghost, humorously declaring that he's ready to fight because the spirit failed to add 'Jii' after addressing him as 'Sardaar".
