BJP backs Diljit Dosanjh amid Sardaar Ji 3 row, says Punjabi actor-singer a 'national asset'
The ongoing row over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Amir in 'Sardaar Ji 3' has led to backlash for actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, with people calling for boycott of the movie. Some have also demanded for Diljit's Indian citizenship to be revoked. In a post on social media platform X, BJP national spokesperson R P Singh said that Dosanjh was a 'celebrated artist'. However, amid the online flak, the Bharatiya Janata Party has extended its support to Dosanjh, calling him a 'national asset' and a 'global ambassador of Indian culture'. In a post on social media platform X, BJP national spokesperson R P Singh said that Dosanjh was a 'celebrated artist'. He said that the call by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), asking for the singer's Indian citizenship to be revoked, was 'unfair' and 'shockingly disproportionate'. Defending Dosanjh's movie, Singh said it was shot before the Pahalgam terror attack. 'If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India,' the BJP spokesperson said, adding that 'attacking' Dosanjh's patriotism was 'simply irrational'. '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?' Singh questioned in the post. He urged the FWICE to reconsider its stance and not to 'weaponise patriotism', while saying that it weakens our moral standing. 'Have they forgotten Uri, Pulwama?': FWICE on Sardaar Ji 3 row While Diljit Dosanjh addressed the backlash for the movie's casting of Hania Amir, saying that these decisions are not in his control, FWICE objected to his working with a Pakistani artiste. The federation has also written to the Government of India, seeking strong action against the film and its makers. 'How have they forgotten Uri, Pulwama, or Mumbai attack or so many other attacks that Pakistan did on our country?' FWICE Chief Advisor and President, Indian Film and Television Directors' Association, Ashoke Pandit, questioned. He further said that Dosanjh was being 'careless about emotions of this country', adding that the singer had not condemned Hania Amir's remarks on Operation Sindoor and India. The movie 'Sardaar Ji 3' was released overseas on Friday (June 27), but will not be available for the public in India.

Meet 90s highest-paid star, charged Rs 1 crore per film, name is..., not Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth
Meet 90s highest-paid star, charged Rs 1 crore per film, name is..., not Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth Today, we will highlight the journey of this superstar who stepped away from Bollywood after starring in three Hindi films, to later found superstardom in South Indian cinema. In 90s, his success overthrew Amitabh Bachchan, and became the highest-paid stars in the country. He is none other than megastar Chiranjeevi, who is undoubtedly, one of the biggest names in Telugu cinema. How Chiranjeevi became the highest-paid actor in 90s? An old cover of the Week Magazine, dating back in 1992, headlined Chiranjeevi as the cover boy, with the title that screamed: 'Bigger than Bachchan'. The magazine reported that Chiranjeevi had broken the Rs 1 crore barrier by charging Rs 1.25 crore for film Aapadbandhavudu . At that time, Big B had taken a hiatus from films, which meant Chiranjeevi took over his spot, and became the highest-paid Indian actor. Reportedly, other top stars such as Rajinikanth, Sunny Deol, Govinda used to charge Rs 50 to Rs 60 lakh per film. After Chiranjeevi, who all entered the Rs 1 crore club? After Chiranjeevi, Kamal Hassan and Rajnikanth too entered the club as they charged Rs 1 crore per film. Moreover, Amitabh Bachchan, upon his return to films, became the first Bollywood actor to charge Rs 1 crore per film. The late 90s saw a shift in power dynamics and economics of India cinema. By the end, the three top Bollywood stars- Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan began charging more- commanding Rs 2-3 crore per films. It was in late 1980s, Chiranjeevi's remarkable career solidified his position as one of the biggest names in Indian cinema. He worked in over 150 films as an actor, dancer and producer, and was reportedly dubbed as 'The New Money Machine' in 90s after delivering 14 consecutive hits in a year. Currently, Chiranjeevi's net worth is estimated to be around Rs 1650 crore, thanks to his prolific career and remarkable legacy in Indian cinema.
