Box Office Success Despite Controversy
While the controversy simmers due to the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir—following the Federation of Western India Cine Employees’ (FWICE) ban after the Pahalgam attack—Sardaar Ji 3 continues to perform remarkably well internationally. Despite not releasing in India, the film has grossed ₹18.1 crore globally in just three days, with a major chunk of the revenue coming from Pakistan. Notably, it has set a record as the highest-opening Indian film in Pakistan.
Industry Reactions: Divided Opinions
The entertainment industry remains divided over the matter. Several celebrities have come forward in support of Diljit Dosanjh, appreciating his professionalism and poise. However, others, such as television actress Rupali Ganguly, have openly criticized him.
FWICE’s Strong Message to Imtiaz Ali
Soon after the release of the trailer, FWICE issued a letter addressed to filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, urging him to cut all ties with Diljit Dosanjh. The letter stated:
“Your involvement risks sending a deeply conflicting message, especially given your influence as a director known for socially resonant themes… We, therefore, strongly appeal to you to reconsider your collaboration with Diljit Dosanjh and withdraw from associating with any artist who has been officially boycotted by FWICE. Upholding the dignity of our industry and the nation must remain paramount over professional or commercial interests.”
