Hyderabad: Fans were excited to see Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh share screen space with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3. However, their excitement turned into disappointment when the film skipped its theatrical release in India amid controversy over Hania’s casting.

Now, after a long wait, Indian audiences can finally watch the much-discussed film online.

Hania-Diljit’s movie arrives in India

The Punjabi horror-comedy premiered on Chaupal OTT on November 9, 2026, giving Indian viewers their first official opportunity to watch the film. The movie also stars Neeru Bajwa and is directed by Amar Hundal.

Why Sardaar Ji 3 did not release in Indian theatres

The film was initially scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release in June 2025. However, following the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025 and the subsequent rise in tensions between India and Pakistan, Hania Aamir’s involvement in the project triggered widespread backlash.

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) also urged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to withhold certification for the film. Eventually, the makers opted for an overseas-only theatrical release on June 27, 2025. It opened in markets including Pakistan, Canada, the UK, Australia and the US.

Where and how to watch Sardaar Ji 3 in India?

For those waiting to watch Diljit and Hania together, Sardaar Ji 3 is now available exclusively on Chaupal OTT in India.

Viewers can download the Chaupal app on their smartphones or visit its official website, register or log in to their accounts and subscribe to an available plan. They can then search for Sardaar Ji 3 and start streaming the movie.

With the film finally making its way to Indian screens through OTT, fans can now catch the much-awaited combination of Diljit Dosanjh and Hania Aamir from the comfort of their homes.
