Diljit Dosanjh shares BTS from ‘Border 2’ amid ongoing controversy, confirms he's still part of the film

Amid speculation that Diljit Dosanjh had been dropped from Border 2 due to the ongoing row surrounding Sardaar Ji 3 and Pakistani actor Hania Aamir’s involvement, the singer-actor has now put all rumours to rest. Diljit took to social media and shared a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of Border 2, confirming that he is still very much part of the project. The clip shows Diljit suited up and filming a scene with a large group of dancers in the background. The iconic Border track Ke Ghar Kab Aoge can also be heard playing in the video.

Diljit has been at the centre of a social media storm since the trailer of Sardaar Ji 3 was released on June 22, revealing that Hania Aamir, a Pakistani actor, stars alongside him. The controversy intensified after Dosanjh did not delay the film's overseas release following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.

In light of the backlash, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a letter to Sunny Deol, who also stars in Border 2, urging him to reconsider his association with the project. “Your decision to disassociate from this collaboration will reaffirm your enduring image as a true patriot and send a strong message that national interest comes before personal gain,” the letter stated.

Meanwhile, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah also waded into the controversy. After initially posting a strong message of support for Dosanjh, blaming political motives for the backlash, Shah later deleted the post. However, he followed it up with a cryptic message on Facebook, quoting German philosopher Georg Christoph Lichtenberg: “It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard.”

Border 2, the sequel to JP Dutta’s 1997 war film Border, recently began its third schedule in Pune. The film stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh in key roles.
