For those who pre-order, the Solidato Pack is included with both editions. The Soldato ensemble, the Scannaturi Speciale knife, the Tesor horse and accessories, and the Lupara charm are all included.

‘Sardaar Ji 3' row: BJP backs Diljit, calls him ‘national asset, global ambassador of Indian culture'
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has come out in support of singer-cum-actor Diljit Dosanjh, stating that the 'politics of targeting the actor should stop' and that the artist is a 'national asset and a global ambassador of Indian culture' Dosanjh's recent film 'Sardaar Ji 3' landed in controversy over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding immediate and strict action against the actor, including 'cancellation of Dosanjh's citizenship'. The film released overseas Friday (June 27) but not in India. The film's producer, Gunbir Singh Sidhu, had told media that they decided not to release the film in India after the Pahalgam attack as they didn't want to hurt anyone's sentiments. He added that 40 per cent of the film's revenue is expected to be hit with this decision. Pakistan actress Aamir had also allegedly passed derogatory remarks against India's Operation Sindoor targeting terror camps in Pakistan, which too were condemned by Sidhu. In a series of posts on X, BJP national spokesperson R P Singh backed Dosanjh, calling the actor 'not just a celebrated artist… (but) a national asset and a global ambassador of Indian culture'. 'FWICE's call to revoke his Indian citizenship over an inadvertent and pre-incident film shoot is not only unfair but shockingly disproportionate. The film featuring a Pakistani actress was shot before the Pahalgam attack. If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India. But attacking Diljit's patriotism and demanding such an extreme step is simply irrational,' Singh said in a post. 'Just days before the Pahalgam incident, the Indian cricket team played a match against Pakistan. Did FWICE or others object then? TV news channels routinely invite Pakistani guests to boost TRPs. Should those anchors now relinquish their citizenship too? Let's not cheapen nationalism or weaponise patriotism. FWICE should reconsider its stance — such targeting of our own talent only weakens our moral standing,' the post added. Reacting to calls for a ban on the film, Punjab BJP's Culture Cell Convenor and Punjabi film actor Hobby Dhaliwal addressed a press conference at Chandigarh and extended full support to Dosanjh on behalf of the party. Dhaliwal said that Dosanjh is not just an artist, but a globally respected face of the Punjabi community. 'At a time of nation's fight against terrorism, attempts are being made to defame him with baseless allegations. This is unfortunate and condemnable,' he said. He clarified that the film in question was shot well before the Pahalgam terror attack incident, when cultural exchanges between both nations were not banned. The shoot was conducted within legal norms and involved several actors, not just Dosanjh. Dhaliwal expressed regret that certain elements are now demanding cancellation of the actor's citizenship and a ban on his films — 'a demand that is not only unjustified but politically motivated and entirely baseless', he said. 'Diljit is the son of this soil. Punjab stands with him — and India too,' Dhaliwal added. He emphasised that every citizen holds patriotic sentiments, but using that as a pretext to target a single artist was completely wrong.

‘Everyone Looks Same': Yatra Guru Ji Under Fire Disrespecting Nagaland Locals
Travel vlogger Bhanwar Lal Vishnoi is facing backlash after claiming that the faces of Nagaland people look very similar. Bhanwar Lal Vishnoi, popularly known as Yatra Guru Ji, a travel vlogger from Rajasthan, is under fire for posting videos that many believe disrespect women from Nagaland and tribal communities. His recent YouTube uploads, featuring provocative thumbnails and insensitive titles, have sparked widespread outrage on social media. The backlash intensified after a video was posted on June 18, in which Vishnoi commented on the appearance of people in Nagaland. In the clip, he says, 'There's something I want to say, the faces here all look kind of similar. As I walk ahead into a more crowded area, I feel like I've seen these people before. Then I spot someone else and again I feel like I've already met them. All the faces look very similar. I'm not making fun of anyone, but I'm just sharing what I honestly feel. It seems like everyone looks the same." The statement, although prefaced with a disclaimer, has been widely condemned as racially insensitive and ignorant. Social media users and locals have called out the vlogger for his remarks, accusing him of promoting harmful stereotypes. Many are now urging authorities to take legal action against him for his offensive behaviour and for disrespecting tribal communities through his content. Although in the videos, Bhanwar Lal Vishnoi mostly talks about Nagaland and other parts of the Northeast, the thumbnails show local women in a very misleading and disrespectful way. The titles of the videos have also left viewers upset. Speaking with The Print, research scholar Heenu Riba, from Arunachal Pradesh, said, 'He has exotified our bodies. He is not showing our culture in the videos, but selling our bodies for his views." After facing backlash, Yatra Guru Ji posted a new video where he said sorry for hurting the people of the Northeast and for showing women in the wrong way. He also told his audience that his team is now working on changing the thumbnails of the videos. While apologising, Bhanwar Lal Vishnoi also explained why he used such pictures and titles. He said he used them to get more views, as this type of content attracts more attention. At the same time, he also said that his videos are clean and meant to share useful information. Surprisingly, Bhanwar Lal Vishnoi has also shared content with YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who is currently facing serious accusations of sharing sensitive details about the Indian Army after Operation Sindoor. The two were together during several trips, including the Hornbill Festival in Nagaland in 2024.

Kumar Vishwas reacts to Diljit Dosanjh's 'Sardaar Ji 3' row: 'Uski mazaak banane waali ladki ke saath aap film bana lunga?'
Renowned Hindi poet and former politician Kumar Vishwas recently addressed the rising criticism surrounding Diljit Dosanjh-starrer 'Sardaar Ji 3'. The film has drawn flak for featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, particularly in the aftermath of the India-Pak tensions since April 2025. Kumar Vishwas on Diljit Dosanjh 's ' Sardaar Ji 3' controversy During an interview with NDTV, Kumar Vishwas addressed the ongoing boycott call for the movie from social media users. Many found the collaboration insensitive, and Vishwas slammed the double standards artists display in such a crucial situation. Diljit Dosanjh Snuck a Kirpan into the Met Gala |Shakira Helped Without Knowing He further criticised Diljit's decision to collaborate with a Pakistani actress who once mocked India's strategy and stood against the country in times of crisis. 'Aur yeh jo ahankar ho gaya hai na stars ko, ki mera kya hai? Main toh gaa dunga. Yeh bohot galat baat hai. Meri responsibility yeh jo log ticket deke Kumar Vishwas ko dekhne aaye hain, unke prati hai. Inke gharon mein toh gola aake padh raha hai, inka sipahi toh tirange mein lapet ke aa raha hai. Aur uski mazaak banane waali ladki ke saath aap bol rahe hain mein uske saath film bana lunga, gaana bana lunga?' (This arrogance that the stars have now, thinking, 'What's it to me? I will just sing.' This is very wrong. Who made you? My responsibility is towards those people who bought tickets to come and see Kumar Vishwas. In their homes, shells are falling; their soldiers are returning wrapped in the tricolour. And you talk about making a film, making songs with the girl who mocks them?) About the boycott call for Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3 The backlash against Diljit Dosanjh intensified after the trailer of Sardaar Ji 3 was released. It showcased Pakistani actors including Hania Aamir, Nasir Chinyoti, Daniel Khawar, and Saleem Albela. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) submitted a request to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to refuse certification to the film due to the presence of Pakistani artists.
