Diljit Dosanjh is currently embroiled in controversy due to his collaboration with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the upcoming film 'Sardaar Ji 3'. This backlash has intensified following the recent tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly after the Pahalgam attack. Despite the filmmakers clarifying that the movie was shot with Hania prior to the incident, both Diljit and the production team have faced significant criticism. Notably, singer Mika Singh has publicly condemned Diljit for his decision to work with Hania, labeling him a 'fake singer'.

Mika expressed his views on Instagram, stating, "As we are all aware, the relationship between India and Pakistan is currently strained. Yet, some individuals continue to act without regard for the situation. Before releasing any projects involving artists from across the border, they should reconsider, especially when it concerns our nation's dignity."

He further remarked, "There was a film featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor that many opposed, yet some still fail to grasp the message. It is even more shocking that a so-called fake singer, after performing numerous shows in India and gaining thousands of fans, has now vanished, leaving them feeling betrayed and helpless."

In response to the criticism regarding Hania Aamir's involvement, Diljit addressed the issue during an interview with the BBC Asian Network. He explained, "When this film was made, the situation was fine. We filmed it in February, and everything was okay then. After that, many significant events occurred that were beyond our control. The producers decided that the film would not be released in India, so they opted for an overseas release. A considerable amount of money has been invested in this project, and at the time of filming, there were no issues."

"They are aware that there will be financial losses due to the exclusion of an entire market. When I signed on for the film, everything was fine. Now, the circumstances are out of our hands. Therefore, if the producers wish to release it internationally, I support their decision," he added.

'Sardaar Ji 3' also features Neeru Bajwa in a leading role, alongside Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, and Sapna Pabbi in significant parts.
