Recent cryptic tweets of singer Guru Randhawa have created a stir on social media, especially when the controversy over Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming film ‘Sardar Ji 3’ is at a peak. In this film, Diljit is on target due to working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, and Guru’s post is being seen as a tange against her. The Guru wrote in the tweet, “Please remember- you were born in India,” and questioned the PR (promotional) strategies, which are being speculated that it is a target at Diljit’s team.
He tweeted a tweet in Punjabi in which it is written, “Even if a person becomes completely a foreigner, but should not be betrayed by his country. Never think of the country which has eaten.” He further said, ‘Even if your citizenship is no longer Indian, but you are born here – don’t forget it. This country has given birth to great artists, and we are all proud of it. You should also be proud of your birthplace. Just a advice. Now please do not start any dispute again and do not mislead Indians. Yes, now PR (Public Relations) has become bigger than the artist. “
The controversy began after the trailer of ‘Sardar G3’ was released, as it came after the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack (death of 26 people) when the Indian film bodies took a tough stand on working with Pakistani artists. The shooting of the film was completed in February 2025, when Indo-Pak tension was low, but there is criticism for its foreign release (27 June 2025) in the current environment. Diljit told the BBC Asian Network, “When the film was made, everything was well. Now the situation is not in our hands, so the producers decided to release foreign.”
The Guru’s post mentions “fake PR” and “monthly controversies”, which fans are associating with the alleged strategy of Diljit’s team. Some users described it against the spirit of “country first”, while others believe that it is just internal politics of the entertainment industry. The makers of the film clarified that Hania was not signed after the attack, but this cleanliness could not calm the controversy.
