In the face of the controversy surrounding Sardaar Ji 3 and his partnership with Pakistani performer Hania Aamir, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has spoken out in support of Diljit Dosanjh. He said that Diljit was not in charge of the film's casting and that he opposed limiting one-on-one contact between India and Pakistan.

Diljit is backed by Naseeruddin Shah

In the face of the hatred Diljit is receiving for co-starring with Hania, Naseeruddin turned to social media on Monday to back him. He expressed his thoughts in a Facebook post.

"I am steadfast in my support for Diljit. The Jumla Party's dirty tricks division has been waiting for an opportunity to strike him. They believe they have it now, at last. Naseeruddin said that the director, not him, was in charge of casting the movie.

However, Diljit is well-known around the world, while the actor is unknown, and he accepted the role because his mind is not poisoned. What these goons want is to put an end to interpersonal relationships between the citizens of India and Pakistan. There, I'm free to meet my close family and close friends, and no one can prevent me from expressing my affection for them whenever I like.

“And my response to those who would say “Go to Pakistan” is “GO TO KAILASA”,” he said in conclusion.

Diljit is criticized for Sardaar Ji 3

Diljit's Sardaar Ji 3 is currently generating debate. The film's crew is under fire for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir alongside Diljit and Neeru Bajwa. On June 27, the film had its international debut, despite the drama. In India, the movie was not released.

Diljit and his future work in India have been subject to calls for a ban since the trailer's release. Diljit and all of his future endeavors have been demanded to be banned by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA). According to vocalist Mika Singh, Diljit should offer an apology. The outrage follows the recent terrorist assault on Pahalgam on April 22, followed by India's Operation Sindoor on May 7, in which airstrikes targeted terrorist targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
