Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh's film Sardaar Ji 3 faced significant controversy before its release due to the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Amir. The controversy stemmed from the heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pulwama terror attack, leading to a ban on Pakistani artists in India. The trailer's release, featuring Hania Amir, sparked further controversy, resulting in the film's ban in India. However, the film has received a tremendous response overseas, earning 11.03 crore in two days.
