Sardaar Ji 3: Hania Aamir Dropped Amid Tensions
The decision to drop Hania Aamir from Sardaar Ji 3 has significant implications for the entertainment industry, highlighting the challenges faced by artists in the midst of geopolitical tensions, and raising questions about the impact on future collaborations between Indian and Pakistani talent.
Pakistani actress Hania Aamir has reportedly been dropped from the upcoming Indian Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh, due to ongoing Pakistan-India tensions sparked by the Pahalgam attack.
The attack, which resulted in the loss of 26 lives, has reignited the debate about the involvement of Pakistani artists in Indian projects. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has called for a blanket ban on Pakistani artists, threatening action against members who collaborate with them. This move has raised questions about the impact of geopolitical tensions on the entertainment industry.
The film, scheduled to release on June 27, 2025, also stars Neeru Bajwa, Gulshan Grover, and Manav Vij. Although there has been no official confirmation on Hania Aamir's removal from the project, reports suggest that the filmmakers have decided to replace her with another actor. The shoot for Sardaar Ji 3 had been completed in the UK, with Hania Aamir alongside Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa.
Diljit Dosanjh recently announced the completion of the shoot on Instagram, expressing his excitement for the film. The plot details of Sardaar Ji 3 remain under wraps, but it promises to blend fantasy, horror, comedy, and heart, much like its predecessors. The uncertainty surrounding Hania Aamir's involvement in the project has sparked a debate about whether talent should suffer due to geopolitical tensions.
As the release date of Sardaar Ji 3 approaches, the situation remains uncertain, leaving fans and the entertainment industry alike wondering about the fate of the film and the future of collaborations between Indian and Pakistani artists.
