NEW DELHI: Pakistani actress Hania Aamir and renowned Indian singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh’s starrer Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3 has finally been made accessible to Indian audiences, releasing on a digital streaming platform after missing a theatrical window in India due to political tensions and related controversies surrounding the casting.
Hania Aamir and Diljit Dosanjh’s Punjabi Film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ Finally Released in India
The comedy-horror feature premiered on an Indian OTT platform on November 9, following its earlier theatrical release across Pakistan and international markets on June 27, 2025. Despite being barred from traditional cinema screenings in India, the film achieved remarkable commercial success at the Pakistani box office. According to prominent film exhibitor Nadeem Mandviwalla, Sardaar Ji 3 grossed approximately PKR 60 crore domestically, cementing its status as one of the most successful Punjabi cinematic ventures in the country.
Reflecting on the collaboration during an interview with BBC Asian Network, Diljit Dosanjh praised Hania Aamir’s professionalism on set, noting that while their schedules limited extensive joint time, working together was a positive experience. Dosanjh also emphasized his strict adherence to personal boundaries and privacy, particularly regarding female co-stars.
The professional rapport between the two lead stars traces back to their initial meeting in London last October, where Hania Aamir attended a show during Dosanjh’s global music tour and was invited onto the stage.
