US EditionControversy Surrounds 'Sardaarji 3': FWICE Appeals to CBFC
INDIA, JUN 09 – The Federation of Western India Cine Employees and All Indian Cine Workers Association oppose certification citing national sentiment after the Pahalgam terror attack killed 26 civilians.
- The film Sardaarji 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, is scheduled for overseas release on June 27, 2025, but not in India.
- This release decision follows backlash from Indian film bodies and workers associations due to the inclusion of Pakistani talent amid rising India-Pakistan tensions and recent incidents like the April Pahalgam terror attack.
- FWICE and AICWA condemned the film and Dosanjh, accusing them of disrespecting national sentiments, promoting Pakistani artists, and called on the CBFC to withhold certification.
- FWICE labelled the cross-border casting a "betrayal of the nation" and Dosanjh a "compulsive lawbreaker" who has insulted soldiers’ sacrifices and questioned his loyalty, while AICWA called Aamir a "terrorist" and urged a boycott of Dosanjh.
- Gunbir Singh Sidhu, one of the producers, explained that the movie had been finished prior to the recent escalation in tensions and that the decision was made to release it only internationally for now, postponing its debut in India until a more suitable time.
