India, June 29 -- Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has been facing criticism over the casting of Pakistani artist Hania Aamir in his recent release Sardaar Ji 3, against the backdrop of continuing tensions between India and Pakistan. Now, actor Rupali Ganguly has also slammed Diljit for his "confused loyalties". Taking to X, Rupali didn't name Diljit but hinted at it as she expressed disappointment over the casting of "an actor" in Border2. She wrote, "Border was a film that evoked deep patriotism among the people of our nation. It's truly disheartening and frustrating to see an actor in Border 2 who fails to recognise his responsibilities towards the country." While there have been rumours of Diljit being dropped from the film, no confirmation has come yet. But Rupali hailed the rumoured decision: "A film that celebrates our soldiers and national pride must reflect that spirit in every aspect. No room for confused loyalties in a film about national pride." On the other hand, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who worked with Diljit in Amar Singh Chamkila (2024) and is making another film with him, defended him saying, "I can't say much on the row, but since I know Diljit, I can say that us mein deshbhakti ka jazbaa poora bhara hua hai. He is a son of the soil." While talking to NDTV, Imtiaz also commented on the Sardaar Ji 3 row saying, "Casting someone isn't the decision of the actor... I know that uske andar desh prem bahut zyada hai. Jo log dekh paayenge unke andar ke sach ko, unko ye samajh mein aa jaayega." Lyricist Javed Akhtar asked the authorities to show "sympathy". He told NDTV, "Ab kya kare bechara. The movie was shot earlier. Usko pata toh nahi tha ki aisa hoga. Iss mein Pakistani aadmi ka paisa toh nahi doobega, Hindustani ka paisa doobega... Usko pehle pata hota yeh hone wala hain, toh woh thodi na leta Pakistani actress. I think the government and the censor board should look at the situation with a little sympathy. And say that don't do this again, but since you made this film before, then release it. But it should not happen again."htc...
