Diljit Dosanjh Shares ‘Censored’ Cryptic Post Amid Sardaar Ji 3 Boycott Calls, Fueling Netizens Anger

Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3 sparked controversy over its collaboration with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. However, the film is not going to release in India, the call for a boycott continues on social media. This is because, despite strained relations between India and Pakistan, Diljit not only chose to act in a film featuring Hania but also promoted its overseas release. Amid this, singer cum actor shared a cryptic post on social media, about Punjab 95.

On Monday, he re-shared an Instagram post titled "Censored before release?" His message was about Punjab 95 allegedly being banned before its release. The post included filmmaker Sunayana Suresh's account of watching the film and noted how the director and Diljit refused to comply with the CBFC’s demand for 127 cuts.

For a few days, social media users have voiced against Diljit Dosanjh.

Dosanjh is actively promoting Sardaar Ji 3 worldwide, scheduled to premiere overseas on June 27. Following the trailer release, the singer confirmed that the movie will not be released in India due to the ban on Pakistani artists after the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 innocent lives.

This horror-comedy features Dosanjh as a quirky ghostbuster, alongside co-leads Hania Aamir and Neeru Bajwa. For now, an Indian theatrical release seems unlikely.

Directed by Amar Hundal, the film also stars Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, and Sapna Pabbi. The first two Sardaar Ji films, released in 2015 and 2016, were box office hits, solidifying Dosanjh’s popularity in Punjabi cinema.
