As the release of Sardaar Ji 3 approaches, an old interview of Diljit Dosanjh is going viral and it’s making headlines once again.

 

In the resurfaced clip, the Punjabi singer is seen saying that he has no desire to work in Bollywood and doesn’t need approval from anyone to make music.

 

“I don’t even want to work in Bollywood. I have no such desire to become a great Bollywood star,” Diljit says in the video.

He goes on to add, “I love music, and I can continue making music without anyone’s permission or any big star’s approval or names attached. I don’t need to think that, ‘Oh this person’s work will sell, this one will get a song, that one won’t.’ None of that applies to me.”

 

Diljit also made it clear that no one can stop him from creating. “As long as I feel like it, I’ll keep creating music. And as long as God wills it, I’ll make music. Whether I get work in Bollywood or not, I couldn’t care less,” he concluded.

 

The video has resurfaced online just days before the release of Sardaar Ji 3, a horror-comedy film starring Hania Aamir, Neeru Bajwa, Jasmin Bajwa, and Gulshan Grover. 

 

The film has faced boycott calls in India after the Film Federation of Western Indian Cinema (FWIC) reimposed a ban on Pakistani artists, following the Pahalgam attack in April.

 

In response to the situation, the makers of Sardaar Ji 3 have decided to release the film overseas only, including in Pakistan, skipping cinemas in India.

 

The film is set to release worldwide (excluding India) on June 27.
