<h2>About Border 2</h2><p><i>Border 2</i> is being touted as 'India's biggest war film'. The film is the sequel of the 1997 epic war drama Border. Border was written and directed by JP Dutta, while the upcoming sequel will be helmed by Anurag Singh.&nbsp;<br><br><i>Border </i>had won 3 National Awards and featured an ensemble cast of Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Akshaye Khanna, Tabu, Raakhee, Pooja Bhatt, and Kulbhushan Kharbanda among others.&nbsp;</p><h2>Border 2 release date&nbsp;</h2><p><br>Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta the film features Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty. Border 2 is slated to release in cinemas worldwide on January 23, 2026, ahead of India's Republic Day next year.</p>

Contrary to reports doing the rounds that the actor was removed from Border 2 amid backlash for working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, Dosanjh continues to be a part of the sequel of the 1997 war film.

<p>The BJP national spokesperson R P Singh and Punjab BJP’s Culture Cell Convenor Hobby Dhaliwal have extended their support to Diljit Dosanjh.

Hania had allegedly made derogatory remarks against India’s Operation Sindoor. Following the backlash, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) wrote a letter to the Prime Minister demanding immediate and strict action against Diljit, including calling for his citizenship to be revoked.</p><h2>R P Singh’s statement</h2><p>BJP national spokesperson R P Singh backed Dosanjh on X, posting, “FWICE’s call to revoke his Indian citizenship over an inadvertent and pre-incident film shoot is not only unfair but shockingly disproportionate. The film featuring a Pakistani actress was shot before the Pahalgam attack. If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India. But attacking Diljit’s patriotism and demanding such an extreme step is simply irrational."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Just days before the Pahalgam incident, the Indian cricket team played a match against Pakistan.

This is unfortunate and condemnable.” He went on to address the call to revoke his citizenship, saying, “A demand that is not only unjustified but politically motivated and entirely baseless.

BJP defends Diljit Dosanjh amid Sardaar Ji 3 row, praises him as Indian cultural icon

<p>Diljit Dosanjh is now a global star. The actor-singer made heads turn with his maiden appearance at the Met Gala 2025 earlier this year. Dressed like a Maharaja, Diljit’s look was designed by Prabal Gurung and created quite a stir with Diljit making it to best best-dressed list of several fashion pages. Now, over a month later, Diljit has revealed that he always wanted to dress up as a King on the global stage. Diljit also admitted that he had teared up when he first thought of wearing a cape with a map of Punjab on it.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>The singer has been known to take Punjabi and its culture on the global stage. Diljit said he always wanted to put Punjab on the world stage and hence sang Bhangra-inspired songs at both Coachella and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Diljit spoke to BBC Asian Network and revealed he wanted to dress up as a king for Met Gala.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>‘They stole Maharaja of Patiala’s necklace’<br>&nbsp;</h2><p>While commenting on the necklace he wore, Diljit said, “I knew instantly that when I go (to the Met Gala) I want to look like a raja. When I went to the Cartier showroom last time, I asked them if they’d give me the Maharaja of Patiala’s necklace. It was ours; they stole it. There are more necklaces that they’ve taken and aren’t giving back. They promised they’d give it to me, but I was later told that it was at some exhibition somewhere. So we had a replica made.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Diljit added he teared up when the idea of putting the Punjab map on a cape came up. “I was sitting in my vanity van when I first had the idea of wearing a cape with the map of Punjab on it, and Gurmukhi written on it. I cried. I cried when I first had the vision. I wanted to honour my Punjabi culture.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Diljit got emotional and added, “Me going there isn’t a big deal. But Punjab going there, and a turban being represented there, that’s huge. I wanted to make the biggest statement on that red carpet. The Punjabi language is ancient. It is due some respect. There is a whole story there. Diljit isn’t going to the Met Gala; Punjab is going to the Met Gala.”<br>&nbsp;</p><p>The singer said that his state of Punjab may be blessed but also has a dark history.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>“I don’t want it to seem like I’m doing anything for Punjab. I’m just doing my job. Whatever is happening is not in my control. I am Punjabi, what can I say? Anyone who says they’re doing something for others is lying. Everyone’s working for themselves. If their work has ripple effects, that’s another thing. I’m working for myself. I’m a very selfish guy,” the actor said.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Diljit also addressed the hate that comes his way especially for the way he promotes Punjab.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>“These people are people. Everyone is a pawn in the grand scheme of things; we are all minions. We have no control over anything in our lives. We don’t even have control over our own breath. When someone hates me, I like to think that there is probably something still inside me that deserves to be hated. When I become a better person, I will not be hated anymore… Punjab is such a wonderful place. It has been through so much, and yet it produces so many talented people. Perhaps Punjab is blessed, but perhaps it is also cursed.”</p><h2>Sardaar Ji 3 controversy</h2><p>Diljit is at present in the middle of a controversy over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3. The actor has been criticized for working with Aamir amid heightened cross-border tensions between Indian and Pakistan post the Pahalgam terror attack. In the interview, Diljit clarified that the film was shot much before the problems between the two countries arose.&nbsp;</p>

The singer has been known to take Punjabi and its culture on the global stage. Diljit said he always wanted to put Punjab on the world stage and hence sang Bhangra-inspired songs at both Coachella and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Diljit Dosanjh is now a global star. The actor-singer made heads turn with his maiden appearance at the Met Gala 2025 earlier this year. Dressed like a Maharaja, Diljit’s look was designed by Prabal Gurung and created quite a stir with Diljit making it to best best-dressed list of several fashion pages. Now, over a month later, Diljit has revealed that he always wanted to dress up as a King on the global stage. Diljit also admitted that he had teared up when he first thought of wearing a cape with a map of Punjab on it. The singer has been known to take Punjabi and its culture on the global stage. Diljit said he always wanted to put Punjab on the world stage and hence sang Bhangra-inspired songs at both Coachella and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Diljit spoke to BBC Asian Network and revealed he wanted to dress up as a king for Met Gala. ‘They stole Maharaja of Patiala’s necklace’ While commenting on the necklace he wore, Diljit said, “I knew instantly that when I go (to the Met Gala) I want to look like a raja. When I went to the Cartier showroom last time, I asked them if they’d give me the Maharaja of Patiala’s necklace. It was ours; they stole it. There are more necklaces that they’ve taken and aren’t giving back. They promised they’d give it to me, but I was later told that it was at some exhibition somewhere. So we had a replica made.” Diljit added he teared up when the idea of putting the Punjab map on a cape came up. “I was sitting in my vanity van when I first had the idea of wearing a cape with the map of Punjab on it, and Gurmukhi written on it. I cried. I cried when I first had the vision. I wanted to honour my Punjabi culture.”

On Sunday night, as Diljit Dosanjh shared the trailer of the film, the actor faced severe backlash as the trailer prominently features Dosanjh along with Hania Amir.

Sardaarji 3 to not get an India release, FWICE demands a complete ban on Diljit Dosanjh’s future projects

<p>Being an avid fan of murder mysteries, one of the best things about this genre is how well the films unfold, making the movie even more fun and gripping. While delving into a crime-infused serious whodunit is another kind of thrill, sometimes watching a murder mystery with a bit of humour isn’t a bad idea, especially during a lazy weekend. A recent addition to this genre is Diljit Dosanjh's <i>Detective Sherdil,</i> an Indian version of <i>Knives Out. </i>Ever since the Hollywood film was released, several desi versions have come out, none as sharp as the original.<i>&nbsp;</i> However, I must say, having watched this film a week after <i>Housefull 5</i>, Dosanjh's film is definitely a better copy.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Directed by Ravi Chhabriya, the movie brings an entertaining vibe, well-presented cast and a quirky background score, but does all this make this goofy murder mystery a gripping whodunit?

While what appears to be a perfect family, it's all dysfunctional, and things turn worse when Bhatti leaves nothing to his family in his will, giving 10% to his dog and a huge chunk to his dead accountant Purvak (Arjun Tanwar), who also happens to be Shanti's boyfriend.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>While the prime suspects are the missing accountant and the driver, Sherdil knows that there's a lot more when one scratches the surface.

The mystery thriller has a lackluster climax- &nbsp;the less I write about it, the better. My point here is that you shouldn't set high expectations with the film, and only then will you end up enjoying it.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>While all the actors performed well, Chunky Panday seemed to have a more relaxed experience.

Detective Sherdil review: Diljit Dosanjh's film is a cheeky Knives Out copy for casual viewing

Being an avid fan of murder mysteries, one of the best things about this genre is how well the films unfold, making the movie even more fun and gripping. While delving into a crime-infused serious whodunit is another kind of thrill, sometimes watching a murder mystery with a bit of humour isn’t a bad idea, especially during a lazy weekend. A recent addition to this genre is Diljit Dosanjh's Detective Sherdil, an Indian version of Knives Out. Ever since the Hollywood film was released, several desi versions have come out, none as sharp as the original. However, I must say, having watched this film a week after Housefull 5, Dosanjh's film is definitely a better copy. Directed by Ravi Chhabriya, the movie brings an entertaining vibe, well-presented cast and a quirky background score, but does all this make this goofy murder mystery a gripping whodunit? I'm sceptical. What is Detective Sherdil about? The movie starts with the introduction of Dosanjh as Sherdil, one of the best detectives of Budapest, who celebrates the closing of every case with an Instagram reel. Just as he's about to enjoy a hard-earned vacation, a new case is ready - the murder of a billionaire, Pankaj Bhatti (Boman Irani), who has been gunned down. While things might seem easy at first, with two culprits missing, Sherdil knows how to find the real killer or the killers. Bhatti is a self-made billionaire with a seemingly good-looking family - his wife Rajeshwari (Ratna Pathak Shah), son Angad (Sumeet Vyas), and a deaf and dumb daughter, Shanti (Banita Sandhu), who Bhatti loves the most. There is also a daughter-in-law, Elizabeth (Sarah Barlondo), and Bhatti's brother-in-law, Bodhi Mama (Chunky Panday), who are also a part of the family, but Bodhi Mama lives in the garden. While what appears to be a perfect family, it's all dysfunctional, and things turn worse when Bhatti leaves nothing to his family in his will, giving 10% to his dog and a huge chunk to his dead accountant Purvak (Arjun Tanwar), who also happens to be Shanti's boyfriend. While the prime suspects are the missing accountant and the driver, Sherdil knows that there's a lot more when one scratches the surface. How he and his team find out the killer makes the plot of rest of the plot. A Cheeky Knives Out copy Before you start watching the movie, remove the word ''mystery'' from your expectations, because everything is clear like a crystal from the word go. To an extent, I thought that writers wrote this movie solely for Diljit, who seems to play himself. His mix of Hindi, Punjabi and quirky English, along with his expressions, makes everything funny. Also, those who have watched his Punjabi or Hindi movies will not find anything unique or particularly new in his part.

However, I think the makers and writers were well aware of this thin plot, so instead of building a complex mystery, they leaned into how to make the presentation entertaining with quirky tones, dialogues, and music. Needless to say, it has worked. One noteworthy element of the movie is the use of sign language, which seamlessly blends into the narrative. With the picturesque locations of Budapest, the movie is visually appealing as it tells the story through scenes, expressions, and grand sets. And of course, the camera work and background scores have a big role to play, and also contribute significantly to the overall experience. However, the dull writing, a story that lacks excitement and no pulse-pounding twist, the overall experience is unsatisfactory. The mystery thriller has a lackluster climax- the less I write about it, the better. My point here is that you shouldn't set high expectations with the film, and only then will you end up enjoying it. While all the actors performed well, Chunky Panday seemed to have a more relaxed experience. Why? He didn't have much to do, aside from wandering here and there. A brief summary on Detective Sherdil How’s the plot? It’s not a top-tier mystery thriller. Will you be able to guess who the killer is? Yes, most likely. How’s the cast’s performance? Everyone has given their best Watch or skip? If you’re a Diljit fan, then yes. Otherwise, watch it when you’ve got nothing better to do.

<p>Before you start watching the movie, remove the word ''mystery'' from your expectations, because everything is clear like a crystal from the word go. &nbsp;To an extent, I thought that writers wrote this movie solely for Diljit, who seems to play himself.&nbsp;</p>

Detective Sherdil review: Diljit Dosanjh's film is a cheeky, desi version of Knives Out for casual viewing

OTT releases this week (June 17-21): Detective Sherdil, We Were Liars and more

<p>Thrill, fun and mystery - this week is going to be packed with entertainment with a variety of content across genres. Check the line-up here:</p>

<p>&quot;Udta Punjab&quot;&nbsp;actor and popular Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh has a foreign taste in girls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The successful singer-actor was sometime back spotted by his social media fans pursuing fashionista and reality star Kylie Jenner on&nbsp;Instagram. He would&nbsp;regularly&nbsp;like&nbsp;her photos and comment on them in Punjabi, much to the amusement of his fans who declared that Dosanjh&nbsp;was clearly smitten by the&nbsp;Instagram blogger.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But all this was before news broke out of&nbsp;Kylie Jenner being&nbsp;pregnant. In one photo&nbsp;with her then-rumoured boyfriend Tyga, Dosanjh wrote:&nbsp;&ldquo;<em>Dur </em><em>fitte</em><em> </em><em>muh</em> (Damn it)&rdquo; and even asked her step-sister Kim Kardashian&nbsp;about Jenner&#39;s whereabouts in a live video:&nbsp;&ldquo;<em>Kylie </em><em>kitthe</em><em> aa?</em>&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an earlier interview with PTI, Diljit had talked about his crazy obsession with Kylie. &ldquo;I love her very much. Now, more than loving her, what makes me happy is how much people are interested in my comments. I never leave any chance to comment. But she hasn&rsquo;t replied yet, may be soon. Also, I comment in Punjabi, so that she doesn&rsquo;t reply. My people should have fun that&rsquo;s it,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Now that Kylie is off the grid because of her rumoured pregnancy, Dosanjh&nbsp;has found a new&nbsp;love interest and she is none&nbsp;other than the &quot;Wonder Woman&quot;&nbsp;herself -- Gal&nbsp;Gadot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Writing on her picture, Dosanjh commented&nbsp;on her looks and said, &quot;<em>Punjaban</em>&rsquo;. &ldquo;<em>Kudi Punjaban </em><em>lagdi</em><em> ah.</em>.&rdquo;</p>

<p>This is the picture that Gadot shared:&nbsp;</p>
