The much-anticipated Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh, may skip theatrical release in India following backlash against the makers for casting popular Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. However, the film is all set to hit cinema screens across Pakistan in line with its international release.
According to an Instagram post by Pakistani cinema chain Cinegold Plex, Sardaar Ji 3 will release in the country on Friday, June 27.
“The wait is finally over… Sardaar Ji is back! Sardaar Ji 3 hits the big screen on June 27 with double the comedy, drama, and desi madness! Ready for a full-on Punjabi entertainer? Watch it first at Cinegold Plex. Book your tickets now!” the cinema chain announced on Instagram.
The poster shared by Cinegold Plex prominently features Hania Aamir, whose involvement in the film has sparked controversy across the border. The theatre chain, which operates in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi, also posted a short video clip from the film’s trailer on its Instagram Stories, showcasing Hania Aamir’s scenes from Sardaar Ji 3.
Despite facing resistance in India, the film is expected to draw significant audiences in Pakistan.
