The move came after various media speculations following the ban on Bollywood working with Pakistani artists in light of the ongoing conflict between the two countries, after which Fawad Khan’s upcoming film opposite Vani Kapoor ‘Abir Gulaal’ was cancelled. The Instagram accounts of several actors including Mahira Khan, Farhan Saeed, and actors like Mawra Hocane were removed from the cover art of her film ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ on Spotify, inciting backlash.

There were previous reports indicting that chances are for Hania to be cut out of the film, after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees urged the Central Board of Film Certification to deny ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ the certificacte, on grounds that the movie was set to feature a Pakistani artist. But it seems like to overcome the ban, ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ will not be releasing in India, but will play in theatres worldwide.
After the trailer was released, celebrities like BBC journalist Haroon Rashid applauded Diljit Dosanjh’s humanity and respect for others.
“POWER MOVE! I’m so happy to see that the man I’ve admired for his humanity, integrity and his respect for others has DELIVERED! And @haniaheheofficial what a moment for you!!! ❤️”
Celebrities like Mehwish Hayat, Kinza Hashmir and Mahira Khan showered praises for Hania’s biggest career move in the comments section of her Instagram post.
Mahira Khan wrote: “Wooohooooo🔥🙌😍”
Anoushay Ashraf admired how despite the political hurdles, Hania Aamir persisted and still got to make her debut in a Punjabi film.

“What an absolute legend!”, another person wrote.
Want to say – Hania Aamir & Diljit Dosanjh faced a lot of heat due to the recent Indian aggression. Diljit was under heavy pressure for starring a Pakistani, yet launched the movie despite not being permitted in India.
What an absolute legend!
