Diljit Faces Blacklist Calls Over Film With Pakistani Star

Diljit Dosanjh is facing growing backlash and boycott calls in India for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3', amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions following the April Pahalgam terror attack. Singer Mika Singh has criticized Diljit, calling him a 'fake singer' and accusing him of putting career over national interests. Major film unions like FWICE have asked the government to blacklist Diljit and revoke his citizenship. The film's makers have clarified that 'Sardaar Ji 3' was shot before recent events and will not release in India, only overseas, to respect current sentiments. Despite these clarifications, criticism persists, with some supporting the overseas-only release and others demanding stricter measures. The incident has reignited debate about cross-border collaborations during times of political conflict.
