The upcoming Punjabi film ‘Sardar Ji 3’, featuring Diljit Dosanjh, faces opposition from the BJP Chitrapat Kamgar Aghaadi, which has called for a ban on its release due to the inclusion of Pakistani actors in the cast.

Reportedly, the film includes Pakistani artists Hania Aamir, Nasir Chinyoti, Daniel Khawar, and Saleem Albela. The organization has expressed serious concerns regarding this collaboration amid current geopolitical tensions and alleged anti-India remarks from certain Pakistani celebrities on social media, especially regarding India’s recent Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam incident.

The union has formally requested that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) withhold a censor certificate from the film, thus blocking its theatrical release in India.

In a statement, the union asserted, “We categorically oppose any Pakistani artist being linked to Indian cinema. The BJP Chitrapat Kamgar Union demands that ‘Sardar Ji 3’ not receive a censor certificate. This is more than a political issue; it relates to national sentiment and our country’s dignity.”

They further emphasized that the participation of Pakistani artists in Indian films disrespects the sacrifices made by the armed forces. “Pakistan has openly declared itself as India’s enemy, and yet we continue to welcome their artists and entertainers. This is unacceptable. As representatives of the Indian film industry’s workers and technicians, we cannot allow this.”

The statement concluded with a call to the CBFC and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to heed national sentiment and take immediate action by denying certification for the film, preventing its release in Indian cinemas.

On April 22, 2025, Pakistan-sponsored terrorists attacked civilians in Baisaran Valley, Pahalgam, resulting in the tragic death of 26 individuals, including one Nepali national. This incident prompted India to launch a counter-terrorism operation against Pakistan, targeting terror infrastructure within the country.
