4 July 2025 : The controversy surrounding Diljit Dosanjh’s collaboration with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3 had put his role in Border 2 in jeopardy. However, thanks to producer Bhushan Kumar’s intervention, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has lifted its ban on the actor, allowing Diljit to continue working on Border 2.
FWICE lifts ban on Diljit
FWICE lifted the ban on Diljit for his upcoming film Border 2. The president of the association, BN Tiwari, shared that they took the decision after Bhushan Kumar reached out to them and pleaded personally.
“Yes, the ban has been revoked for this project,” BN Tiwari said. However, the decision comes with a warning. Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, who is also associated with FWICE, shared, “So, we have non-cooperation against Diljit continuing. Anyone else who casts him must be prepared for consequences. The Federation won’t be responsible for the financial losses that might follow.”
Ashoke also mentioned that non-cooperation against the actor will continue for future projects.
The statement comes just a day after Diljit shut down the rumours of getting replaced in Border 2 by sharing a behind-the-scenes video of himself shooting for the war film.
The video shared by Diljit gives a glimpse into his day on the sets of Border 2. It begins with him stepping out of his vanity van, dressed in his uniform, and then walking into the set as he prepares for a dance sequence. Sharing the video on Instagram, Diljit wrote, “BORDER 2”.
Summary:
FWICE temporarily revoked its ban on Diljit Dosanjh after Bhushan Kumar’s request, allowing him to shoot for Border 2, but future cooperation remains uncertain.
