Ammy Virk Breaks Silence On Replacing Diljit Dosanjh In Border 2: 'Haven't Got Any Call'
Last Updated: Border 2 became embroiled in controversy after FWICE wrote to the film's lead actor, Sunny Deol, to remove Diljit from the film. Ammy Virk's team has clarified that he has not been approached to replace Diljit Dosanjh in Border 2. Diljit Dosanjh is embroiled in a tough row due to the casting of Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in his film, amid stringent tensions between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack. Amid this, there is buzz that he has been removed from Border 2. A source from Ammy Virk's team told the Hindustan Times, 'These are just speculations. We haven't got any call from anyone as of now." The buzz surrounding Ammy's name came to the fore after a TOI report claimed that he has been approached to replace Diljit in Border 2. A source close to Border 2 production told TOI, 'Diljit has only filmed 3–4 scenes so far. The makers are considering replacing him, as it's still early enough to reshoot those portions without much hassle. The team is handling the situation directly, and Ammy Virk's name has come up during internal discussions." However, according to another piece of information obtained by Hindustan Times, there are no current plans to replace Diljit from Border 2. A highly-placed source close to the production said, 'There is no plan to replace or remove Diljit from Border 2. His casting was confirmed nearly nine months ago, long before the recent unfortunate incidents. Nearly half the film has already been shot, and any replacement at this stage would be logistically unfeasible." Border 2 became embroiled in this controversy after FWICE wrote to the film's lead actor, Sunny Deol, to remove Diljit from the film. FWICE wrote, 'We write to you with the deepest respect and admiration for your longstanding service to both the Indian film industry and the nation. Your portrayal of valiant soldiers and national heroes in iconic films like Border, Gadar, and Indian has not only entertained but profoundly inspired generations." They wrote, 'Your commitment as a public representative further stands as a testament to your patriotic values and unwavering dedication to the country. It is in this light that we express our grave concern regarding your association with Mr Diljit Dosanjh in the forthcoming film Border 2. Mr Dosanjh's recent professional choice to cast Pakistani actress Hania Aamir-who has openly posted anti-India content on her social media platforms, especially in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack-has deeply disturbed the sentiments of our industry and the wider national community." 'Your esteemed presence in a film titled Border 2, which symbolises national pride and sacrifice, alongside someone who has chosen professional ambition over patriotism, sends a conflicting and distressing message to the very public that has always viewed you as a symbol of nationalism. On behalf of scores of members of our federation and stakeholders across the Indian film industry, we sincerely appeal to you to reconsider your association with Mr. Dosanjh for this project," they also mentioned.
