Sardaar Ji 3 makers decided to skip the film release in India. However, it released worldwide.
In another post, Diljit re-shared a post, claiming the box office performance of Sardaar Ji 3. It said that the film earned ₹ 11.03 crore globally within just two days of its release. It opened with ₹ 4.32 crore on day one and witnessed a strong jump on day two, collecting ₹ 6.71 crore.

The movie was shot earlier. Usko pata toh nahi tha ki aisa hoga (What could the poor guy have done? The movie was shot earlier. He had no way of knowing that something like this would happen)."
He added, 'It's not a Pakistani's money that will be lost, it's an Indian's. So what's the point?'
Sequel to Sardaar Ji and Sardaar Ji 2, the film also stars Neeru Bajwa and Jasmin Bajwa. The film is produced by Gunbir Singh Sidhu, Manmord Sidhu, and Diljit Dosanjh under White Hill Studios and Story Time Productions.
