Diljit Dosanjh clarifies that Sardaar Ji 3 movie was shot before the Pahalgam attack

Diljit was in Malaysia performing when on the stage he clarified that the movie was shot before the Pahalgam attack. Diljit shared that the India-Pakistan match was going on in India when his film was being shot. He saluted the National flag and took permission from his fans to address a few things. He started off by saying that strict punishment needed to be given to the te**oists who did the Pahalgam attack. Diljit shared:

"Woh mere desh da jhanda hai (That's my country's flag). Always respect. When my film Sardaarji 3 was shot in February, the matches were being played. After that, the tragic Pahalgam terror attack happened. At that time, and even now, we have always prayed that the terrorists should receive strict punishment. The difference is that my film was shot before the attack, and the match was played after the attack."

Diljit also took a dig at the media and shared that the national media had tried to portray him as an anti-national, but the Punjabi and the Sikh clan could never go against the country. Diljit conveyed that he had a lot to say but he kept it all within himself ever since his film, Sardaar Ji 3 touted controversy. It was on September 14, 2025, when India and Pakistan battled a faceoff on the cricket ground. India emerged victorious, clinched the winning trophy, but did not shake hands with Pakistan.

"I have many answers, but I kept quiet, kept everything inside me. I didn't speak. I have many answers. Whoever tells you anything, you shouldn't take that poison inside you. I have learned that from life. So I didn't say anything. There are a lot of things more to say, but I don't want to do that, I don't want to do that s***.”
