Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh is in the middle of a major social media storm after casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3. Things got worse after Diljit took to his Instagram to share the trailer for the film and also revealed its release date. Despite him clarifying that the film will only be releasing overseas, social media erupted with backlash and boycott calls for the "Hass Hass" singer. Indian film bodies have also called for a ban on the film, and the trailer has been geo-blocked in India. The backlash comes amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. Amid this, singer Guru Randhawa has dropped a tweet about "fake PR" that has raised eyebrows online. Hania Aamir-Sardaar Ji 3 Row: Diljit Dosanjh’s Manager Sonali Singh Addresses Losses for Controversial Film Due to India Release Halt.
