Audience Reaction To Sardaar Ji 3 Release In Pakistan After Skipping India Debut
One of the bewildered cinemagoers commented on Cinegold Plex's post about Sardaar Ji 3 and asked, "Is it releasing in Pakistan too??" To which a fellow fan responded with, "Yes".
On X too, there was some chatter around the film's Pakistan release.
"Hania Amir and Diljit next movie Sardar ji 3 is releasing in Pakistan, no one criticse. Move forward (sic)" wrote a social media user.
In A Nutshell
Punjabi singer-star Diljit Dosanjh is being criticised for sharing screen space with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, a movie on which he also serves as a producer. The upcoming Punjabi movie is headed for an international release, skipping screenings in India in the wake of the diplomatic and military tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025.
Film bodies in India such as the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and All Indian Cine Workers Association decided to impose a ban on Diljit Dosanjh after the controversy broke.
Diljit Dosanjh also weighed in on the row in an interview, saying Sardaar Ji 3 was shot in February when the situation between the two countries was stable. The actor said it was clear to the makers that the film won't release in India following the Pahalgam attack.
There has been a ban on Pakistani artistes from working in India since the 2016 Uri attack. The calls of the boycott further strengthened after the 2019 Pulwama attack and recently, the terror attack in Pahalgam.

It felt alive." Another wrote, 'Once Suriya Naa Said : Yellaa Sacrifice ayum Enakkaaga, En Kozhandhaigalukaaga Panra, Enna Nadikka Vidra Ennoda Jyotika Kaaga." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jyotika (@jyotika) Suriya will next be seen in the Tamil action-thriller film, Karuppu. The first look from the film was unveiled today, June 20. Though only the actor's silhouette was visible in the poster, the striking red background is enough to give you the chills. The poster for Karuppu is visually intense, immersed in a striking blood-red hue, setting a powerful and ominous tone. At the center is actor Suriya, silhouetted against the red mist, holding a large machete in a commanding pose. His stance conveys confrontation, strength, and possibly vengeance. Surrounding him are religious and ritualistic elements like tridents (trishuls) and towering statues, hinting at a deeper mythological or spiritual layer to the narrative. The smoke-filled background adds to the mystical atmosphere, while the title Karuppu, meaning 'black' in Tamil, is boldly displayed in sharp red typography, suggesting themes of darkness, intensity, and moral complexity. Dropping the poster, Suriya tagged the film's writer-director RJ Balaji, and wrote, 'Here's our #Karuppu for you..! Wishing you all happiness @RJ_Balaji (sic)." Karuppu, starring Suriya in the lead, is produced by Dream Warrior Pictures and written and directed by RJB, with cinematography by GK Vishnu and music by Sai Abhyankar. Given RJ Balaji's previous successes like Mookuthi Amman and Veetla Visesham, expectations are high that the film will strike a balance between good content with a mass appeal. It is planned for release this October during Diwali. First Published: June 29, 2025, 14:01 IST
