Diljit Dosanjh Controversy

Earlier, reports claimed that Dosanjh had been removed from Border 2 following strong objections from the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) over the film's ongoing shoot. The controversy began after he cast Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his Punjabi film Sardaar Ji 3. However, Dosanjh continues to be a part of the sequel.

Earlier, it was reported that Diljit had been removed from Border 2, and that Punjabi actor Ammy Virk might replace him in the sequel. However, Ammy's team denied the rumours.

The film is being helmed Anurag Singh.
