Diljit Dosanjh twirls his moustache as he drops BTS video from sets of Border 2 amid Sardaar ji 3 controversy. Watch
After sharing screen space with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh found himself at the centre of a heated controversy. The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) urged the makers of Border 2 to reconsider Dilijit's casting. Soon after, speculation began swirling online that the actor had been dropped from the much-anticipated war drama.
However, the Amar Singh Chamkila star put those rumours to rest on Wednesday by sharing a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of Border 2 on his Instagram handle. In the clip, Diljit is seen donning a crisp formal suit, walking out of his vanity van with pride, and posing with jawans—all while the iconic song 'Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge' from Border plays in the background.
Border 2 also stars Varun Dhawan, Sunny Deol, and Ahan Shetty in key roles.

Though Sardaar Ji 3 was pulled from an Indian release, Diljit Dosanjh shared its trailer and song teaser on social media—one of which spotlighted Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. After receiving backlash, he deleted the song teaser. His move prompted AICWA to write letters to the Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Information & Broadcasting Minister.

They also wrote letters to producers JP Dutta and Bhushan Kumar of T-Series, urging them to drop Diljit from Border 2. So far, the production team has not issued any official response.
Speaking to BBC Asian Network about Sardaar Ji 3, Diljit Dosanjh said, 'I signed the film back in February. Things are not in our control. The producers have invested a lot of money in the film. If they decide to release it overseas, I have to support them.'
Diljit is also a co-producer on Sardaar Ji 3. The controversy has divided public opinion— with some applauding his professionalism, while others questioning his choices.
Border 2 is all set to release on January 23 next year.
