Bad Newwz actor-singer Ammy Virk is being considered by the makers of Border 2 as a possible replacement for Diljit Dosanjh. This development comes after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) publicly appealed to the producers to drop Diljit from the film.FWICE raised objections over Diljit’s involvement in Sardarji 3 opposite Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, calling it “unacceptable” in light of current India-Pakistan relations. The organization urged the makers of Border 2—a patriotic war film—to replace the actor. For the unversed, Diljit started filming the war film last week in Pune with the other cast members Sunny Deol and Ahan Shetty. A source close to the production shares, “Diljit only shot for 3-4 scenes. Makers were contemplating replacing the actor, as right now they can easily reshoot those scenes. The makers are directly handling this matter and Ammy’s name cropped in the discussion.” With the controversy intensifying, sources say Ammy Virk has emerged as a frontrunner. Despite repeated attempts Nidhi Dutta, the producer of the movie didn’t respond to our queries till the time we went to the press. Ammy and Diljit’s representatives also chose to not comment. Diljit Dosanjh landed himself in serious trouble with the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) as his upcoming Punjabi film
Sardaar Ji 3
features Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. FWICE wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and key union ministers, demanding strict action — including revocation of passports and even cancellation of Indian citizenship of Diljit and the film’s team.In a strongly worded letter, FWICE President BN Tiwari, urged the Prime Minister of India, the Home Minister, the Minister of External Affairs, and the Minister of Information & Broadcasting to take strict and immediate action against the key people involved in the film. The letter read, “Diljit Dosanjh, Gunbir Singh Sidhu, Manmord Sidhu and Director Amar Hundal, the public personalities enjoying the privileges of Indian citizenship, have committed an unpardonable act by hiring Pakistani actress Ms. Hania Aamir in their upcoming film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’. This decision is not a mere creative choice — it is a wilful affront to the sovereignty, dignity, and security of India. Their actions clearly reveal where their loyalties lie — not with India, not with Indian cinema, and certainly not with the people of this country”
