The Controversy
Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has been in the eye of storm for sharing screen space with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3. The film recently had an International release, skipping screenings in India in the wake of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025.
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had urged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to deny certification to the film. As a result, the makers decided to skip the film's theatrical release in India altogether.
Diljit Dosanjh also reacted to the controversy in an interview with BBC Asian Network.
The actor said, "When this film was made, everything was fine. We shot it in February and things were okay back then. After that, a lot of big things happened that were beyond our control. So the producers decided that the film obviously won't be released in India now, so they'll release it overseas. The producers have invested a lot of money, and when the film was being made, nothing like this was happening."
He added, "They know there will be a loss because you're removing an entire territory. Even when I signed the film, everything was fine. Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them."
In A Nutshell
Diljit Dosanjh shared a glimpse of the audience enjoying Sardaar Ji 3 in Pakistan's theatres. The film arrived in theatres on Friday but skipped its release in India amid the ongoing controversy.

BTS member Jin held Day 2 of his RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR concert in South Korea at the Goyang stadium, and it looked like another fun-filled occasion for the fans of the group. After V, RM, and J-Hope attended day 1, it was time for SUGA, Jimin, and Jungkook to ensure their support reached the oldest member. They cheered, laughed, and had a jolly time at what is being called one of the most fun gigs fans have ever experienced. SUGA returns to the public eye after DUI and completing military service It was member Min Yoongi's first time at an official event following the completion of his alternative military service, where he worked as social service personnel for 21 months, unlike the 18 months in active duty, which the other 6 were a part of. SUGA soon took to his personal Instagram account with 50 million followers to share a photo of his attendance at the Jin concert. The BTS ARMY was delighted and celebrated his return to social media after a break of over 2 years, where he chose to be silent during his mandatory duty. Jimin and Jungkook accompanied the Agust D singer as the three arrived in casual fits, faces covered with masks, to enjoy the Jin solo concert. The Promise star also shared a clip from the show, revealing Epiphany as his favorite track from the BTS member. He added how only hyung could have done the performance, complimenting the time he had at the event with 'I had a great time watching your show.' Meanwhile, Jungkook had a blast laughing while watching the fans try to sing along to the high-note songs. He soon changed into official merch from the tour, making it another must-have item from the list. TOMORROW X TOGETHER member Beomgyu also attended the concert and shared that it was fun to be there, with Ref Velvet's Wendy joining Jin on the stage for a live performance of their collaboration track Heart on the Window. Jin is set to tour multiple cities around the world next, with the last stop set for August.
