New Delhi: Mika Singh didn’t hold back his resentment over Diljit Dosanjh’s decision to release Sardaar Ji 3, featuring the Pakistani actor Hania Aamir, overseas in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. Mika Singh, in an Instagram story, referred to Diljit as a fake singer without mentioning his name. However, he shared a collage picture featuring himself and Diljit, making his attack evident for the singer through his Instagram post.
Mika Singh has written, in that Instagram post, that “Desh Pehle (Nation first). As some of the people know, the relationship between India and Pakistan isn’t going well right now. Yet some people continue to act irresponsibly. Before releasing any content that involves artists from across the border, they should think twice, especially when our nation’s dignity is concerned, he stated in that post.
Citing the fate of Fawad Khan’s film Abir Gulaal amid India-Pakistan tensions, he also wrote, ‘There was a film featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor that many of us opposed, and yet, some still don’t seem to get the message.’ What’s more shocking is that a fake singer, after doing 10 shows in India with thousands of fans buying tickets, had now disappeared, leaving fans betrayed and helpless. Mika Singh was referring to Diljit’s successful Dil-Luminati world tour. Diljit Dosanjh hasn’t responded to Mika Singh’s attack yet.
The Taser of Sardaar Ji 3 was released in India a couple of months ago, and it didn’t feature Hania Aamir, despite a strong buzz over the actor’s involvement in the film. The makers didn’t disclose Hania Aamir’s presence in the movie before the trailer was released on June 22.
The trailer of the film is geo-blocked in India following the Pahalgam terror attack, Operation Sindoor. Amid India-Pakistan tensions, the film body had also banned the Pakistani artists working in India. Fawad Khan’s comeback Hindi film Abir Gulaal couldn’t be released in India due to the political tensions in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack. The makers of Sardaar Ji 3 skipped the film’s India release and decided to release it overseas only on June 27.
