Hania Aamir's film 'Sardar Ji 3' released worldwide except India

Famous Pakistani actress Hania Aamir's Indian Punjabi film 'Sardar Ji 3' has been released worldwide, including Pakistan, while the release of the film is still banned in India.

On June 22, Hania Aamir was seen in the trailer of the film, and at the same time, the producers of the film announced that the film would be released worldwide except in India.

Later, after Hania Aamir joined the film, the producers, and especially Indian singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh, are facing strong opposition from Indian filmmakers.

Yesterday, all three Pakistani censor boards - Sindh, Punjab, and the federal - allowed the film to be screened in Pakistani cinemas.

The approval of the film from the censor board was confirmed by the film's Pakistani distributor Zain Wali, who is the head of Wali Films and is also one of the producers of the film.

Actress Hania Aamir also shared a poster of the film on her Instagram story, revealing that ‘Sardar Ji 3’, in which she plays the lead role opposite Diljit Dosanjh, will be released in cinemas across the country.

The poster shared by Hania Aamir lists several major cinemas in Pakistan, including Cineplex, Neoplex Cinemas (Karachi), Cue Cinemas (Lahore), Centaurus Cineplex (Islamabad), among others, as screening venues for the film.

So far, two cinemas have confirmed that they will definitely screen ‘Sardar Ji 3’.

Universal Cinemas in Lahore said that they will screen the film ‘Sardar Ji 3’, its first show is scheduled for 11:00am tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Islamabad’s Centaurus Cineplex has also confirmed that the film will be screened in its cinemas.

A representative said that although the full schedule of the show has not been finalized yet, the timings will be announced by 7:00pm or 8:00pm tonight.

The poster of the film has also been shared by both cinemas on their official social media accounts.

On the other hand, Karachi’s major cinema chain Neoplex Cinemas has said that they have not received any instructions regarding the screening of the film yet.

A representative stated that the ban on Indian films is still in place. If they receive any notice of the screening of ‘Sardar Ji 3’, they will officially announce it.

The film is produced by Ganbir Singh Sidhu, Manmohan Sidhu, and Diljit Dosanjh, while production houses like White Hill Studios and Storytime Productions have worked on it.

However, none of them have announced a release in Pakistan on their official platforms yet.

There is some uncertainty due to the lack of an official statement from the filmmakers, but confirmation from various cinemas indicates that the film will probably be screened in a few cinemas in the country.

Although ‘Sardar Ji 3’ is an Indian Punjabi language film, it is being considered outside the mainstream of Bollywood, as its production company White Hill Studios is formally registered in Vancouver, Canada, due to which the film has been allowed to be screened, partially bypassing the ban on Indian films in Pakistan.

It is pertinent to note that the official ban on Indian films in Pakistan was imposed in 2019 following a government directive, due to political tensions.

However, despite this, some Punjabi films, including the ‘Jutt and Juliet’ series, have been screened in Pakistan in recent years.

The fans are very excited after hearing the news of the film's release in Pakistan, and a large number of people plan to go to the cinema to watch this film.
