Only a few hours are left for the release of the film Sardaar Ji 3, starring Indian singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh and Pakistan’s bubbly actress Hania Aamir.
News about Hania working in Diljit’s film came out earlier this year when Diljit invited her on stage during one of his concerts.
After that, Hania shared a few pictures from the shoot but never said anything officially about acting in the film.
At that time, the relations between India and Pakistan were quite stable. Even then, the filmmakers did not confirm Hania’s casting officially.
Later, in late April, a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, killed 27 people. India, as usual, blamed Pakistan and took some one-sided actions.
In that situation, India also got an excuse to block the rising popularity of Pakistani actors and dramas. They blocked many Pakistani celebrities’ social media accounts and YouTube channels.
A short war also broke out between the two countries, which made things even worse. At that point, many people believed that, just like Fawad Khan’s film was shelved, Hania must have been removed from her film too.
But behind the scenes, something completely different was happening — and it came out like a bomb on the night of 21 June.
When Diljit released the trailer for Sardaar Ji 3, Hania Aamir was not only in it but also seen in the lead role, showing her beauty and acting skills.
The moment the trailer was released, it caused a storm in India. Just because of working with a Pakistani actress, people started demanding a ban on Diljit, his boycott, and even cancellation of his passport.
Not just the public, even some of Diljit’s fellow singers criticized him harshly.
The filmmakers explained that the movie was shot before the Pahalgam attack and that Hania’s scenes were already completed. This is why the film is being released only outside India, including in Pakistan.
Still, many Indians are not calming down.
On the other hand, something interesting happened in Pakistan. All the big stars of the entertainment industry came forward to support Hania and wished her well for the film.
One of them was actor and director Yasir Hussain. He called Hania’s film historic and said many Pakistani actors have worked in Indian films, but Hania’s project holds special importance.
Now that the film is being released on 27 June, Hania Aamir posted details of cinemas showing the film in Pakistan and other countries on her Instagram.
The film has also been approved by the Pakistani censor board and is ready to release in major cities.
Yasir Hussain once again showed his support and gave a fun compliment to Hania for the film.
Yasir shared the cinema post for Sardaar Ji 3 and wrote that instead of going to India, this girl brought Gulshan Grover, Neeru Bajwa, and Diljit Dosanjh to Pakistan.
He also asked people to support the film by saying let’s welcome the neighbors in true Pakistani style.
