Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh is all set to be back on the big screens with the much-awaited horror-comedy movie Sardaar Ji 3. Directed by Amar Hundal; written by Rakesh Dhawan, Dheeraj Rattan, and Manila Rattan; Sardaar Ji 3 will witness the return of the OG of the franchise, Diljit Dosanjh, and actress Neeru Bajwa. Diljit took to his Instagram handle on Sunday and shared Sardaar Ji 3 Teaser with the caption, "Fadh Lao Bhoond Dian Lattan Sardaar Ji 3 Teaser Out Now Releasing 27th June 2025."
Interestingly, Sardaar Ji 3 was receiving backlash for the past few days over the reports of casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the movie. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has raised objections, requesting the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to deny certification to the film. The objection followed speculations that the film would feature Pakistani actors, including Hania Aamir, Nasir Chinyoti, Daniel Khawar, and Saleem Albela.
However, in Sardaar Ji 3's teaser, there is no mention of Hania Aamir. Also, Hania Aamir has not featured in Sardaar Ji 3's teaser. Notably, Diljit had earlier shut down rumors of Hania Aamir being part of the movie. The speculations of Hania being part of Sardaar Ji 3 were further fuelled by a behind-the-scenes photo posted by Diljit. The picture featured him wearing a T-shirt showing a woman’s face partially visible. Many assumed it was Aamir's image, but Dosanjh later clarified by posting a full photo of the T-shirt, featuring veteran actor Michelle Yeoh.
In a letter to CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi, FWICE said, "In light of recent directives issued by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B Ministry), prohibiting Pakistani-origin content and collaboration with Pakistani artistes in Indian productions, and the parallel stance adopted by FWICE, we urge CBFC to align with these directives and national interest considerations before proceeding with certification. We appreciate CBFC's impartial and rigorous certification process and trust that you will give due consideration to this request (sic)."
It is pertinent to mention here that Hania Aamir, along with other Pakistani stars, used derogatory remarks against the Indian Army after Operation Sindoor that targeted terror launchpads in Pakistan and PoK.
Coming back to the upcoming movie Sardaar Ji 3 which is slated to be released in theaters on June 27, 2025, it is the third installment in the popular Punjabi horror-comedy franchise. Diljit plays ghost hunter Jaggi Singh in a supernatural adventure.
