Diljit Dosanjh Starrer ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ Mired in Controversy
Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming Punjabi film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ has been embroiled in controversy even before its release. The controversy stems from the inclusion of Pakistani actress Hania Amir in the film. The BJP Chitrapat Kamgar Aghadi Sangh in Maharashtra has demanded a ban on the film’s release, citing the presence of Pakistani artists.
Demand to Withhold Censor Certificate
In a statement, the Bharatiya Janata Party Chitrapat Kamgar Aghadi Sangh stated, “We strongly oppose the inclusion of any Pakistani artist in Indian cinema. The BJP Chitrapat Kamgar Sangh demands that ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ not be given a censor certificate. This is not just a political issue; it is also linked to national sentiment and the dignity of our country.”
