Diljit Dosanjh makes his first public appearance amid the Sardaar Ji 3 controversy
Amidst the controversy surrounding the film Sardaar Ji 3, Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh made his first public appearance on Monday.
Diljit flashed a smile and waved at the paparazzi while making his exit from the airport.No sooner Diljit stepped out of the airport, the paparazzi began calling out, “Paaji!” Though he didn’t stop to pose, he acknowledged them with a warm smile, folded hands, and a friendly wave before getting into his car. For the airport outing, Diljit Dosanjh kept it casual in a white t-shirt with blue denims. He is also seen wearing a red turban.
The controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3 began after the film’s team faced backlash for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir as the female lead. This decision sparked criticism and led the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) to issue a non-cooperation order against lead actor Diljit Dosanjh. Initially, FWICE imposed a ban preventing him from working on any film projects.
However, after an appeal from producer Bhushan Kumar, an exception was made for Border 2, allowing Diljit to continue his shoot for Border 2 though with certain restrictions. While he has been permitted to finish work on the war drama, the non-cooperation directive still applies to any new projects, potentially posing challenges for his future film commitments.
The upcoming Anurag Singh directorial war drama, also features Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty.
The film produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta is a presentation by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series in association with J.P. Dutta’s banner, J.P. Films.
Border 2 theatrically releases on January 23, 2026 on the eve of India’s Republic Day on 26 January 2026.
