And now, the makers have broken their silence on the fallout.
Sardaar Ji 3 makers issue official statement regarding casting and release
The production house of Sardaar Ji 3, White Hills Studios, released a statement in an Instagram post released on June 24, 2025, addressing the criticism. The makers clarified that the film was shot months before the tragic attack on April 22, 2025, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians. They also clarified that no Pakistani artist was signed after Pahalgam and stated:
“This is to bring to everyone’s kind notice that the film named Sardaar Ji 3 was shot well before the prevailing situation that our country is facing now, and it was never ever the case that any Pakistani artist was signed or was engaged after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam.”
