Diljit Dosanjh's <i>Sardaar Ji 3</i> Trailer Released; Overseas-Only Release Sparks Controversy

Diljit Dosanjh's highly anticipated film, Sardaar Ji 3, is generating significant buzz. The film has been highly anticipated for a considerable time, and fans eagerly await its release.

Sardaar Ji Trailer: Punjabi cinema superstar Diljit Dosanjh returns with the third installment of his popular horror-comedy franchise, ‘Sardaar Ji.’ The trailer for ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ was released on the night of June 22nd, with the most surprising element being the entry of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir.

Alongside Diljit Dosanjh, Neeru Bajwa and Hania Aamir appear as the two leading ladies, further piquing audience interest. However, this has also sparked controversy—the film will not be released in India, but only in overseas cinemas.

What's Special About the ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ Trailer?

The 2-minute 45-second trailer shows Diljit Dosanjh reprising his role as ‘Jaggi,’ a ghost hunter. This time, the story is set in a spooky British mansion where he, alongside his old friend and ghost-busting partner ‘Pinki’ (Neeru Bajwa), attempts to capture a dangerous spirit. Hania Aamir's entry is presented as a romantic angle, adding a new dimension of emotion and humor to Jaggi's life. The trailer boasts impressive visual effects, situational comedy, and light horror elements.

Following recent events such as Operation Sindur and the Pulwama terror attack, a ban was imposed on Pakistani artists in India. This led to speculation that Hania Aamir would be removed from the film. However, the trailer confirms her continued presence. This, however, directly impacts the film's release strategy. The trailer is unavailable on YouTube in India, and the film will not be released in Indian theaters. The film will now release only in overseas cinemas on June 27, 2025.

Star Cast and Direction

  • Diljit Dosanjh – Once again delivers a unique blend of humor and horror.
  • Neeru Bajwa – As in the previous two films, she provides energy to the narrative with her powerful performance.
  • Hania Aamir – Her presence adds a new dimension to the film, although it has also caused controversy.
  • Director – The film is directed by Amarpreet Chhabra, who has previously worked with Diljit.

Key Points Regarding the Film's Release

No Release in India: Due to censor board approvals and the political climate, the film's release will be limited to countries such as the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. OTT Possibilities: There is speculation that the film may be released on an overseas OTT platform in the future, but there are currently no plans for its streaming in India.

Fans have praised Diljit's comedic timing and screen presence, while Hania Aamir's inclusion has received mixed reactions. Some see it as an example of artists working beyond borders, while others support the decision to prevent the film's release in India.
