Sardar Ji 3 release in Pakistan is confirmed for today, June 27, 2025. The film, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Hania Aamir, is hitting cinemas across major cities including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Sardar Ji 3 skipped its India release due to backlash over Hania Aamir’s casting following the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025.
The decision to avoid the India release came after demands from Indian film bodies, including FWICE and AICWA, to stop collaborations with Pakistani artists. Producers cited the move as necessary to avoid hurting public sentiments. Despite the India market exit, Sardar Ji 3 release in Pakistan confirmed as per schedule in major cinemas.
Sardar Ji 3 producer Gunbir Singh Sidhu confirmed a 40% estimated loss due to the absence of Indian box office revenue, with previous films earning up to 100 crore globally. The film was completed before tensions escalated, with filming wrapped up by February 2025.
Audience reactions have been mixed. In Pakistan, Sardar Ji 3 release has generated interest, while in India, the move has sparked criticism. Cast members, including Neeru Bajwa, have distanced themselves from promotional activities. Diljit Dosanjh stated that the film was made during peaceful times and the decision not to release in India was taken in the current context.
Sardar Ji 3 release in Pakistan set to follow its international release timeline. Local cinemas have opened bookings for the film. The film is expected to perform strongly in the Pakistani market despite regional challenges.
