Pakistani actress Hania Aamir is receiving overwhelming support from fellow celebrities and fans after the trailer of Sardaar Ji 3 confirmed her prominent role alongside Diljit Dosanjh despite heightened political tensions and an ongoing ban on Pakistani artists in India.
The much anticipated trailer, released on Dosanjh’s Instagram, showcases Aamir in a leading role, ghost-hunting through a haunted castle in the UK. The film, a comedy thriller, is slated for overseas release only on June 27, deliberately bypassing India in light of recent backlash.

- India’s Backlash and Filmmakers’ Stand
The inclusion of a Pakistani actor sparked anger in Indian media and film circles.
BN Tiwari, head of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees, even threatened action against Dosanjh for collaborating with Pakistani talent.
However, the filmmakers refused to recast or censor, standing firm with the original team and opting to release the film only in international markets, where the Punjabi diaspora has a massive following.
- Setting a Bold Precedent
With Aamir in a lead role, Sardaar Ji 3 is not just another cross border project it’s a symbol of artistic resistance and collaboration amidst geopolitical strain.
Adnan Zafar dismissed earlier rumours of Aamir’s removal as false and lauded the film’s creators for their commitment to inclusivity.
As anticipation builds for its global release, Sardaar Ji 3 is now being viewed as a cultural milestone one that defies political barriers through the power of storytelling and performance.
