Film body threatens to boycott Diljit Dosanjh over Hania Aamir’s stint in ‘Sardaar Ji 3’
Since the trailer launch of ‘Sardaar Ji 3′ on Sunday, Diljit Dosanjh has come under criticism from certain sections of the internet for featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the film, amid ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan.
Addressing the controversy, Ashoke Pandit, President of the Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association, told Hindustan Times, “We had written a letter to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) earlier, and they refused to give it a certificate. I had seen Hania’s tweets as well during the time of Operation Sindoor. We are going to take action and tell the producers to not work with him (Diljit). He should be fully boycotted in the country by music labels and Punjabi film industry. Diljit is a compulsive Pakistani lover.”
Meanwhile, BN Tiwari, President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), added: “Diljit se lekar film ke producers ko – sab ko ban kar denge India mein, dobaara film nahi bana paayenge. Federation ne soch liya hai 100 per cent. Jo nation ke saath nahi, woh hamare saath nahin. Hum deshdrohiyon ke saath kaam nahi kar sakte. It doesn’t matter if the film is not releasing in India – they shouldn’t come to India only. Songs and everything will be boycotted.”
