Indian singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh is facing mounting criticism over reports suggesting that Pakistani actress Hania Aamir may be part of his upcoming film “Sardaar Ji 3”. The controversy comes in the wake of a tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, in April, which claimed 26 civilian lives and reignited a ban on Pakistani artists working in India.

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has condemned the rumored inclusion of Hania Aamir along with other Pakistani artists like Nasir Chinyoti, Danial Khawar, and Saleem Albela in the film. FWICE President BN Tiwari issued a strong warning, stating that any Indian artist collaborating with Pakistani talent would be considered non-cooperative and could even face being labeled a traitor.

FWICE has also escalated the matter by formally requesting the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to deny clearance to Sardaar Ji 3. The union cited national security concerns and the current sensitive climate following the Pahalgam attack as the basis for their request.

Rumors of Hania Aamir’s involvement gained traction after Diljit Dosanjh shared behind-the-scenes images from the film’s set. Though Hania wasn’t clearly visible, online users pointed out familiar features and speculated about the presence of other Pakistani actors as well.

In response to the rising criticism, Dosanjh has tried to clear the air by sharing related content on social media. However, the backlash from both the film fraternity and nationalistic voices continues to grow, placing “Sardaar Ji 3” at the center of a heated debate over cross-border collaborations in cinema.
