KKN Gurugram Desk | Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has once again stirred social media buzz—this time with behind-the-scenes photos from the set of his upcoming Punjabi film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’. While the presence of his longtime co-star Neeru Bajwa was expected, what truly caught fans off guard was a subtle but intriguing appearance by Pakistani actress Hania Aamir.

BTS Photos from Sardaar Ji 3 Go Viral

On Saturday evening, Diljit took to his social media handles to share a series of BTS (Behind-The-Scenes) pictures from the set of Sardaar Ji 3. These candid shots featured cast members and glimpses from the set. Neeru Bajwa, a regular collaborator with Diljit in Punjabi cinema, appeared alongside him in a few frames.

But it wasn’t just Neeru who drew attention. Observant fans noticed an unexpected face in the background — one that sparked widespread speculation.

Is Hania Aamir Part of Sardaar Ji 3?

The presence of Hania Aamir, one of Pakistan’s most beloved actresses, set off a wave of discussions online. Though she was not directly tagged or mentioned by Diljit in his post, eagle-eyed fans claimed to have spotted her in multiple images.

In the first photo, Hania appears to be standing behind Neeru Bajwa, partially visible with short hair and expressive eyes. In another image, a woman in a black saree — believed by many to be Hania — is seen in a close pose with Diljit, leading to further speculation about her role in the movie.

Speculations Amid Political Sensitivities

These developments come in the wake of recent reports suggesting that Hania Aamir’s role in Sardaar Ji 3 could be dropped. The controversy emerged after the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 Indian tourists and heightened diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan.

Given the sensitive political climate, collaborations between Indian and Pakistani artists often face public and governmental scrutiny. Hania’s supposed involvement in the film had already raised eyebrows, and these latest images have added fuel to the fire.

Fans Zoom In: Is That Hania on Diljit’s T-Shirt?

The speculation didn’t stop with the background appearances. In one of the pictures, Diljit is seen wearing a black T-shirt featuring a woman’s face. Several fans have claimed that the printed image resembles Hania Aamir.

While it remains unclear whether the woman on the T-shirt is indeed Hania, the debate has reignited curiosity around the casting choices for Sardaar Ji 3.

No Official Confirmation Yet

Despite the swirling rumours, there has been no official confirmation from either the filmmakers or Hania Aamir herself regarding her participation in Sardaar Ji 3. The production team has also remained tight-lipped, possibly due to the sensitive nature of cross-border collaborations.

When sharing the photos, Diljit captioned them:

“Jaggi with beautiful chudails. Sardaar Ji 3 hits screens on June 27. Teaser coming soon.”

This cheeky caption referred to his character “Jaggi” and seemed to tease the supernatural theme the franchise is known for. However, it gave no clues about Hania’s role or her inclusion in the cast.

About the Sardaar Ji Franchise

The Sardaar Ji series is one of Punjabi cinema’s most popular supernatural comedy franchises. The first film was released in 2015 and became a blockbuster, followed by a successful sequel in 2016. Both starred Diljit Dosanjh in lead roles that blended humour, action, and fantasy with strong Punjabi cultural roots.

Sardaar Ji 3 is expected to continue in the same vein, combining slapstick comedy with ghostly adventures. With ZEE5 set to premiere the film on its OTT platform, it’s already being touted as one of the most anticipated Punjabi releases of 2025.

Hania Aamir: A Rising Star with a Cross-Border Fanbase

Known for her roles in Pakistani dramas like Mere Humsafar and Pyar Kahani, Hania Aamir has garnered a significant fan following in both Pakistan and India. Her expressive acting and charismatic screen presence have made her a household name among South Asian audiences.

This wouldn’t be the first time cross-border stars have collaborated, though such partnerships often face backlashes during times of political tension. Whether or not Hania is part of Sardaar Ji 3, her name has undoubtedly brought the film additional attention.

Audience Reaction: Curiosity, Praise & Criticism

The online buzz has been mixed. While many fans expressed excitement over the possibility of seeing Hania and Diljit share screen space, others questioned the timing and optics of such a collaboration given recent geopolitical developments.

Still, some defended the artistic merit of cross-cultural projects and urged both nations to separate art from politics.

“If Hania Aamir is in Sardaar Ji 3, I’m 100% watching it,” tweeted one user.

“Why are we always quick to criticize artists? Let’s wait for confirmation,” wrote another.

Release Date and Expectations

Sardaar Ji 3 is slated for release on June 27, 2025, exclusively on ZEE5. With the return of Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, plus the added intrigue surrounding Hania Aamir’s possible involvement, the film is expected to open to strong digital viewership.

The teaser is expected to drop soon, and fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation about the full cast and storyline.

Whether or not Hania Aamir officially appears in Sardaar Ji 3, the buzz around her potential involvement has already given the film an edge in pre-release hype. As fans dissect every frame of Diljit’s BTS photos, one thing is certain — the Punjabi film industry is evolving, and cross-border collaborations may still find a way forward in a digitally connected world.
