The internet is abuzz with speculation surrounding Pakistani actress Hania Aamir's potential appearance in Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming film, Sardaar Ji 3. The rumors initially sparked when Diljit Dosanjh brought Hania Aamir on stage during his London concert. This created an unforgettable moment for fans and ignited speculation about a possible collaboration. Eagle-eyed fans on social media and Reddit began piecing together clues, noticing that both stars were sharing Instagram stories from similar locations in the UK, specifically Edinburgh and London, leading to theories about a joint project.
Sardaar Ji 3, the third installment in the popular Punjabi film franchise, is slated for release on June 27, 2025. The film is directed by Amar Hundal and stars Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa. The film promises a blend of romance, comedy, and horror. The reunion of Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa is highly anticipated, especially after their successful collaboration in Jatt and Juliet 3. Neeru Bajwa, who starred as the female lead in the first Sardaar Ji film, is also returning to the franchise. The cast includes Gulshan Grover, Manav Vij, Nasir Chinyoti, Monica Sharma, and Saleem Albela.
However, recent reports suggest that Hania Aamir may have been dropped from Sardaar Ji 3 following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, South Kashmir. This attack, which resulted in the deaths of 26 tourists, has heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, leading to calls for a ban on Pakistani artists in Indian cinema.
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has strongly condemned the attack and called for a blanket ban on Pakistani artists. Following the attack, Fawad Khan's Bollywood comeback film, Abir Gulaal, also faced delays, with its release in India reportedly postponed.
The reports of Hania Aamir's potential exit from Sardaar Ji 3 have triggered mixed reactions online. Some support the decision, stating that it is justified to cut ties with Pakistani artists given the current situation. Others believe that talent should not suffer because of terrorist activities and that artists should not be held accountable for the actions of their country.
Some social media users have expressed outrage and called for a boycott of Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming projects, arguing that collaborating with Pakistani artists during such a sensitive time is disrespectful to the victims of terrorism and undermines national sentiment. Conversely, some have expressed disappointment, arguing that innocent individuals should not bear the consequences of political conflicts.
Hania Aamir has not yet publicly commented on the reports, and the production team of Sardaar Ji 3 has not officially confirmed the developments. The uncertainty surrounding her role has left fans and industry insiders eagerly awaiting clarity.
