Pakistani actress Hania Aamir features prominently in the newly released trailer for Sardaar Ji 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh. Launched on Sunday evening, the trailer quashes rumors that Hania would be replaced following the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives and escalated India-Pakistan tensions. However, in a significant development, Sardaar Ji 3 will not release in India and is slated for an overseas-only release on June 27, 2025, due to diplomatic strains.
Diljit Dosanjh shared the trailer on social media, captioning it, “Sardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June OVERSEAS Only. FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN.” Indian viewers attempting to watch the trailer on YouTube encounter a message stating, “The uploader has not made this video available in your country,” reflecting restrictions tied to the film’s sensitive casting.
Why Is Sardaar Ji 3 Skipping India?
On June 11, 2025, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) urged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to withhold certification for Sardaar Ji 3 due to the inclusion of Pakistani artists, including Hania Aamir, Nasir Chinyoti, Daniel Khawar, and Saleem Albela. To navigate the controversy, the filmmakers opted for an international release, bypassing Indian theaters entirely.
While the film’s teaser and songs are accessible to Indian audiences, the trailer remains blocked, likely due to Hania Aamir’s starring role.
Hania Aamir Faces Backlash in India
Hania Aamir’s Instagram account has been blocked in India following the Pahalgam attack and heightened tensions. Her situation was further complicated by anti-India remarks made after India’s Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, which targeted nine terror launch pads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation for the attack.
What to Expect from Sardaar Ji 3
Sardaar Ji 3 promises a blend of action, drama, and Punjabi flair, with Diljit Dosanjh reprising his iconic role. Hania Aamir’s casting adds intrigue, but the film’s absence from Indian screens underscores the impact of geopolitical tensions on cinema. Fans overseas can look forward to experiencing the film in theaters starting June 27, 2025.
