It won’t be an understatement to call the Sardaar Ji controversy Abir Gulaal 2.0
It has been five days since Diljit Dosanjh confirmed what was sort of an open secret when he posted the trailer of his new Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3 on his Instagram page. That Pakistani star Hania Aamir was very much a part of the film on which he also has a co-producer credit. As expected, it opened a can of worms.
On June 22, the Punjabi singer-actor shared the Sardaar Ji 3 trailer on Instagram along with the film’s release date and opening only in select theatres globally. In the caption, he wrote, “Sardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June OVERSEAS Only/ FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN.”
What left social media warriors fuming more was that the Punjabi-language film from India featuring a popular Pakistani actor in a prominent role was up for a release barely months after the dastardly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama and India’s retaliatory missile strikes in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor
