Speaking at a concert in Malaysia, Dosanjh said he was unfairly labeled “anti-national” despite his loyalty to his country.

He clarified that Sardaar Ji 3 was filmed before the attack and questioned why his movie was banned while India vs Pakistan cricket matches continued after the incident.

“The film was shot before the attack, but the match was played after. We always pray terrorists get the strictest punishment. We are with our country,” he said.

Dosanjh also rejected accusations against him, stressing that the Punjabi and Sikh community has always been patriotic and loyal to India.

The controversy intensified because the movie features Pakistani actress Hania Aamir alongside Dosanjh. While the film was banned in Indian cinemas, it has done well internationally, gaining strong support from the Punjabi diaspora worldwide.

While India banned the film over cross-border sensitivities, cricket ties with Pakistan continued, raising questions about inconsistent policies.

Diljit’s strong rebuttal reflects the struggles artists face when their work becomes politicized.

The ban may have hurt the film’s reach in India, but international success shows how global audiences are less affected by regional politics.
