Hania Aamir and Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ Finally Released in India

Sardaar Ji 3’ Finally Arrives in India After Controversy Over Hania Aamir

After facing controversy over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir and missing its Indian theatrical release, the Punjabi comedy-horror film is now available to Indian viewers through a digital platform.

Punjabi film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’, featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir alongside Indian star Diljit Dosanjh, has finally reached audiences in India through an OTT release. The film premiered on an Indian digital streaming platform on November 9, 2026, bringing an end to months of uncertainty surrounding its availability in the country.

The movie was initially unable to secure a theatrical release in India amid political tensions and criticism over Hania Aamir’s involvement in the project. However, its digital debut has now given Indian viewers an opportunity to watch the much-discussed production.

Combining comedy with horror, ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ was released in Pakistan and several international markets on June 27, 2025. Despite its absence from Indian cinemas, the film attracted considerable attention and performed strongly at the Pakistani box office.

According to film exhibitor Nadeem Mandviwalla, the production generated approximately Rs 600 million in Pakistan, establishing itself among the country’s most successful Punjabi films.

Diljit Dosanjh also previously shared his thoughts on working with Hania Aamir during an interview with BBC Asian Network. Praising her professionalism, the singer and actor said he had a positive experience collaborating with the Pakistani actress, although they did not get many opportunities to spend time together.

He also highlighted the importance of respecting personal boundaries and privacy, particularly when it comes to women.

The two stars first met in London in October 2025 when Hania attended a concert from Diljit’s international music tour. During the performance, the singer invited her onto the stage, creating a memorable moment that attracted attention on social media.

With its arrival on an Indian OTT platform, ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ has once again brought Hania Aamir and Diljit Dosanjh into the entertainment spotlight, highlighting the film’s continued interest among audiences across the region.
