Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh has broken his silence on the controversy surrounding his latest release, Sardaar Ji 3. The Punjabi film was scheduled to release after the Pahalgam attack in April this year. Due to the presence of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the film, the movie’s India release was cancelled. While the film has been released outside India, it is still not allowed to release in India. Diljit’s comments come as India played Pakistan in the Asia Cup.
During his performance in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Diljit addressed the audience in Punjabi and spoke about the controversy. He said,"When my film Sardaar Ji 3 was shot in February, the matches were being played." His film came under the radar right after the Pahalgam attack as authorities had refuted any association with Pakistanis.
