Amid escalating controversy surrounding the upcoming Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3, a leading film industry body has reportedly urged Bollywood actor Sunny Deol and acclaimed director Imtiaz Ali to sever their professional ties with singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh.

 The demand comes in response to allegations and backlash linked to Dosanjh’s involvement in the project, which some factions within the film community claim undermines industry ethics or cultural sensitivities. While specific details of the controversy remain under wraps, the call to distance from Dosanjh is seen as a significant move, especially given his rising stature in both regional and mainstream cinema. Sunny Deol, who has been vocal about supporting Punjabi cinema, and Imtiaz Ali, known for his creative collaborations with artists across genres, have not issued public statements regarding the appeal. However, industry observers note that such a public request from an official body could place additional pressure on celebrities and production houses to reassess their associations. Diljit Dosanjh, who has built a massive fanbase with his music and acting prowess, has yet to comment on the issue. The controversy has sparked widespread debate on the responsibilities of public figures in cinema, freedom of expression, and the increasing scrutiny artists face in the digital age. Many fans and film experts worry that such actions might set a precedent where artistic collaborations are dictated more by controversy than creativity, potentially stifling cross-cultural storytelling in Indian cinema
