India, July 5 -- Amid controversy around singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh's involvement in Border 2, film bodies have now granted the makers permission to go ahead with the film's release with him in the cast. The move comes as a relief to the film's makers after uproar over Diljit's casting intensified last week. "We had three-four meetings with T-Series (the film's co-producers), where they told us that the film is nearing completion," BN Tiwari, president of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) tells us, adding, "They also informed us that Diljit only had two-three days of work left. Since it doesn't star any Pakistani artistes and is a patriotic movie, we allowed them to go ahead." Ashoke Pandit, president of the Indian Film and Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) shares, "It's a big cast of actors. Bhushan (Kumar, owner of T-Series) said matching dates of every actor for a reshoot would mean the film will get pushed. We're not here to harass producers, but the boycott on Diljit continues." In a previous letter, FWICE requested Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw the makers' permission to shoot at the National Defence Academy in Pune, owing to the actor's presence. However, Ashoke now confirms that "the shoot can continue." Tiwari, adds that Diljit must not feature in any new projects. "All his new projects will be opposed, especially where a change in cast is possible. Director Imtiaz Ali's next film can't go ahead if Diljit stars in it."...
