The controversy follows the announcement of his upcoming film, 'Sardaar Ji 3', which has generated considerable buzz due to Aamir's involvement in the project.

Diljit shared a cryptic post on Instagram that read, "Censored before release?"

The post was about the long-awaited film 'Punjab 95', which was delayed due to censorship issues.

The film, directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, tells the story of Khalra, known for uncovering human rights violations during Punjab's militancy era.

Meanwhile, Diljit's 'Sardaar Ji 3', a fantasy horror-comedy, continues to make headlines.

The film, which marks the third instalment of the 'Sardaar Ji' franchise, has also been the subject of controversy following Diljit's collaboration with Hania Aamir, amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.

Despite the controversy surrounding his professional choices, Diljit is promoting the film globally.

"Sardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June Overseas Only. FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN," Diljit captioned the trailer of the film, which was released on Monday.

The comments section of the actor's social media platform quickly turned into a storm of angry reactions, with Indian netizens expressing their disappointment over his decision to work with a Pakistani artist, amidst tensions between the two countries.

After the trailer's release, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) also condemned Diljit Dosanjh and his team for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3', demanding action from the Indian government.

Citing Aamir's controversial stance against India and her role in spreading anti-India narratives, FWICE has called for the revocation of the filmmaker's passports and a nationwide ban on the film's release in India.

Diljit is a talented artist but this decision is disappointing. Why collaborate with Pakistani artists when their industry openly spreads anti-India propaganda? We have so many talented actresses in India itself. 🇮🇳

Art should be beyond borders, but when the other side constantly disrespects our nation, it's hard to support such collaborations. Hania has made problematic statements before. Diljit should've been more careful. 🤔

The double standards are glaring! Bollywood boycotts Pakistani artists when tensions rise, but Punjabi industry keeps working with them. Either have a consistent policy or don't pretend to be patriotic when convenient.

I love Diljit's work but this is a misstep. There are thousands of talented actresses in India who would kill for this opportunity. Why give platform to someone from a country that sponsors terrorism against us? 😠

People need to calm down. It's just a movie! Artists shouldn't be held responsible for government policies. If the film is good, I'll watch it regardless of the cast. Entertainment shouldn't have borders.

The real issue is why Punjab 95 is being censored while controversial films get made. We need to talk about our own censorship problems rather than just attacking artists. Diljit's cryptic post makes more sense than this unnecessary controversy.

FWICE is right to take a stand. Pakistani artists earn here but their industry bans Indian content.
