Diljit Dosanjh Confirms He’s Still on Board for Border 2, No Replacement Despite Sardaar Ji Rumors
Diljit Dosanjh is currently embroiled in controversy surrounding his upcoming film, Sardaar Ji 3, which will not be released in India due to its casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. The film, shot prior to the recent rise in Indo-Pak tensions, has sparked significant backlash, raising questions about Dosanjh’s future projects. Despite rumors suggesting he would be removed from the film Border 2, sources close to the production have confirmed that he remains an integral part of the cast.
Controversy Surrounding *Sardaar Ji 3*
The controversy surrounding *Sardaar Ji 3* stems from its association with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. As tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated, the film has faced considerable backlash, leading to its withdrawal from the Indian market. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has expressed strong disapproval of Dosanjh’s involvement in the film, citing it as a violation of their directive to boycott him due to his collaboration with Aamir. This situation has not only affected the film’s release but has also cast a shadow over Dosanjh’s career, prompting speculation about his future roles in the industry.
Clarification on *Border 2* Involvement
Amidst the swirling rumors, a source close to the production of *Border 2* has clarified that Diljit Dosanjh has not been replaced in the film. He is set to portray an Indian Army officer in this patriotic war drama. The source emphasized that filming is already halfway complete, with Dosanjh having participated in significant portions of the project. The casting announcement was made nearly nine months ago, and the production team remains committed to his involvement despite the ongoing controversy. This clarification aims to quell the rumors that have arisen following FWICE’s demands for action against producers associated with Dosanjh.
Production Status of *Border 2*
*Border 2* is currently in production, with filming taking place in Pune. Actor Varun Dhawan has been spotted shooting key sequences at the National Defense Academy (NDA) as part of the ongoing schedule. Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by Nidhi Dutta in collaboration with T-Series, the film boasts a strong cast, including Sunny Deol and Ahan Shetty. As the production progresses, the team appears focused on delivering a compelling narrative, despite the challenges posed by the surrounding controversy.
Future Prospects and Release Date

The film is currently scheduled to hit theaters on January 23 next year, and the commitment to Dosanjh’s role suggests that the production team is confident in the film’s potential success.
