Pakistani actor Hania Aamir joins Diljit Dosanjh in trailer for ‘Sardaar Ji 3'
Pakistani actor Hania Aamir has officially joined the cast of Sardaar Ji 3, the latest instalment in the popular Punjabi horror-comedy franchise starring Diljit Dosanjh. The trailer, released by Dosanjh on Instagram, introduces Aamir alongside returning co-star Neeru Bajwa. The film is set to release exclusively overseas on June 27.
Directed by Amar Hundal, Sardaar Ji 3 follows Dosanjh's character, a ghost hunter summoned to tackle a spirit haunting a mansion in the UK. The trailer showcases a action, horror, and comedy, with both Hania and Neeru playing love interests to Dosanjh's character.
Diljit captioned the trailer post, 'Sardaar Ji 3 releasing 27th June OVERSEAS only. FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN.' While fans welcomed the return of the beloved franchise, some questioned the decision for an overseas-only release.
Aamir's appearance in an Indian film has sparked some online debate due to ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan following recent escalations of conflict. Some criticism has been directed at Dosanjh for casting a Pakistani actor amid heightened sensitivities, though others have praised the cross-border collaboration.
The film also features Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, and Sapna Pabbi in key roles. The franchise began in 2015 and quickly became a hit. Sardaar Ji 3 marks the series' return after an eight-year gap since the release of Sardaar Ji 2 in 2016.

Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira reveals why they didn't talk for 4 years: ‘Silly sibling squabble escalated due to egos'
Around 2 weeks ago on June 12, Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband and prominent Indian businessman Sunjay Kapur passed away after suffering from a fatal heart attack. It was triggered by a bee sting in his mouth while the 53-year-old Chairman of Sona Comstar Ltd was playing a polo match in the UK. Sunjay is survived by his third wife Priya Sachdev, their son Azarias and his two children with Karisma — Samaira and Kiaan. A few days after his sudden demise, Sunjay's family hosted a prayer meeting which was also attended by Karisma, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan. Sunjay's sister Mandhira Kapur has now penned an emotional note for her late bhaiya, revealing that they were estranged for 4 long years. Sunjay Kapur and his sister Mandhira Kapur Along with unseen childhood pictures, Mandhira Kapur shared, 'My brother and I may not have spoken for the last 4 years, a silly sibling squabble escalated to crazy levels due to egos and natural bullishness, however, that will never take back what we were and what we had. The phenomenal times we experienced, a privileged childhood of happiness with 2 wonderful parents, the secrets we would keep, the staying up late and sneaking out of the house even later, the stupid in-jokes that the 3 of us kept going for years, the hours of laughter we shared whilst others would stare at us in utter confusion.' Sharing a lesson for her followers and everybody reading, Mandhira wrote, 'To anyone and everyone who has fallen out with someone they love, be it family or friend, please learn from my story, life is fragile and delicate, each day is a gift, do not miss a day even an hour in some fickleness, you can never be assured that you will have the opportunity to repair the void and if you don't, then that's pretty much all that is left, coupled with regret. I would give anything to just see my bhaiya one last time and tell him how much I love him.' Sunjay's first wife and designer Nandita Mahtani dropped a string of heart emojis in the comment section below. We wish the family peace as they cope with the heartbreaking loss.

NEW DELHI: 'Sholay', one of India's most celebrated films of all time, is set to create magic on the big screen once again with the premiere of its fully restored, uncut version at the prestigious Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival in Bologna, Italy. The screening, commemorating the film's 50th anniversary, will take place on June 27 at the open-air Piazza Maggiore, said a press release. Featuring an ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Sanjeev Kumar, Jaya Bacchan and Amjad Khan, Sholay was written by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar and directed by Ramesh Sippy. The film is considered an inalienable part of Indian pop culture due to its popular characters like Jai, Veeru and Thakur as well as Gabbar Singh, one of the iconic villains of Hindi cinema, and plenty of dialogues and action sequences. "Some things in life remain permanently etched in your mind. 'Sholay' is one such film," said Amitabh Bachchan, who played the role of Jai in the movie. He also recalled the "unforgettable experience" of shooting the movie. "At the time I had no idea that it would be a watershed for Indian cinema. Its dramatic change in fortunes from being declared an unsuccessful venture, to its record-breaking box office run was an emotional rollercoaster for all of us." "It's wonderful that the Film Heritage Foundation has restored 'Sholay' and that they have managed to locate and include the original ending as well as some deleted scenes in the restoration. I hope that even 50 years later, the film will capture the imagination of new audiences across the world," he added.
