Following the Pahalgam terror attack, tensions between India and Pakistan remain strained, reviving conversation around banning Indian actors from collaborating with Pakistani talent. Amidst this, BN Tiwari, President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), has criticised Diljit Dosanjh for working with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir on Sardaar Ji 3, demanding a complete ban on all his future projects.
In a recent interview, BN Tiwari voiced his discontent over Diljit’s collaboration with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir, stating that it hurts Indian sentiments.
“By working with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments. He has disrespected the sentiments of the nation and insulted the sacrifice of our brave soldiers. His preference for Pakistani talent over Indian artists raises serious questions about his loyalty and priorities.
By collaborating with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments, disrespected the nation, and insulted the sacrifices of our brave soldiers,” BN Tiwari said.
He added, “We have heard that the film is not being released in India. But if they plan to release it, we will ban it. For now, they are releasing overseas only. That being said, Diljit working with a Pakistani actor is something we are not ready to overlook. We have called for a strict ban on all upcoming films, songs or any other sort of projects. We will also issue a formal letter on the same today. Along with Diljit, we have also called for a ban on the producers of the film regarding all their upcoming films”.
According to BN Tiwari, they had reached out to the makers some time back, asking for an explanation regarding the same. But never heard back from them.
“Humne letter de diya tha, ko jawab nahi aaya. Ab seedha ban karenge (We gave them a letter but didn’t get a response from the team. Now, we will directly ban them),” he says while concluding.
