Amid Backlash For Sardaar Ji 3, Diljit Dosanjh Finds Support In Singer Jasbir Jassi: ‘Why These Double Standards?’

Sardaar Ji 3 has been receiving backlash for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the lead role amid the tensions between both the countries.

Diljit Dosanjh is currently in the middle of a controversy for working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his movie ‘Sardaar Ji 3’. The backlash comes amid the tensions between India and Pakistan post the Pahalgam attack. Even though the makers clarified that they shot Sardaar Ji 3 with Hania before the Pahalgam attack, both Diljit and the filmmakers have been receiving backlash. Amid the controversy, singer Jasbir Jassi showed support towards Diljit and the makers of Sardaar Ji 3.

While supporting Diljit and calling out the trolls, Jasbir told NDTV, “I’m seeing how Diljit Dosanjh and his film are facing protests on social media because that film also stars a Pakistani artiste. I respect people’s sentiments that we should love our country and that we should stand by our country. But, why these double standards?”

He added, “If you don’t want any Pakistani artists singing, acting or working in any Indian film, you want to ban them. But 80% of the songs of our industry have been stolen, be it their tunes or words or the entire songs. There are so many songs in our films that have been sung by the artists of that country. I don’t want to take names because the list is too long. So, why these double standards?”

Earlier, Diljit also reacted to the backlash caused due to Hania Aamir’s casting. He told BBC Asian Network, “Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha. We shot this in Feb and then everything was fine. Uske baad, bohut saari badi cheezein humare haath mein nahi hain. Toh producers ne decide kiya ki film obviously ab India mein toh nahi lagegi, toh overseas release karte hain. Toh producers ka bohut paisa laga hua hain aur jab yeh film bann rahi thi tab aisa kuch tha nahi.”

“They know there will be a loss because you’re removing an entire territory. Even when I signed the film, everything was fine. Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them,” he added.

Sardaar Ji 3 also stars Neeru Bajwa in the lead role with Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, and Sapna Pabbi in the pivotal roles.
