What Did FWICE Say About Banning Diljit Dosanjh’s Sardaar Ji 3?

According to BN Tiwari, the president of FWICE, the organisation plans to take strict action not only against the film but also against its lead star and producers. Speaking to India Today, BN Tiwari confirmed that the industry body would not allow the release of Sardaar Ji 3 or any future projects associated with the team in India. He said the Indian film fraternity will stand united in enforcing this restriction, and that an official announcement outlining the details will follow soon.

For the unversed, this decision comes after major political fallout following the devastating Pahalgam terror attack, which led to the deaths of 26 Indian tourists. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, a counterattack on Pakistani terror camps. The Indian film industry has since reinstated its longstanding unofficial ban on Pakistani artists, which was enforced previously as well after the Pulwama attack 2019.
