Imran Abbas Voices Concern Over Sardaar Ji 3 Release During Muharram, Urges Respect for Sacred Month
His call reflects a broader conversation within Pakistan’s entertainment industry about balancing commercial interests with cultural and religious respect.
Actor Imran Abbas has publicly expressed his disappointment and concern over the release of the film Sardaar Ji 3, coinciding with the holy month of Muharram.
Using his social media platforms, Abbas urged filmmakers and authorities to delay film releases during Muharram out of respect for the religious sentiments observed during this sacred period.
He emphasised that Sardaar Ji 3 would have been a blockbuster regardless of its release date, suggesting that postponing the premiere would not harm its success but would honour cultural and religious sensitivities.
Sardaar Ji 3, featuring Pakistani star Hania Aamir alongside Indian actor Diljit Dosanjh, has generated significant buzz, especially amid cross-border tensions and controversies surrounding its production and release.
The film’s trailer sparked debate, with notable Pakistani television host Nadia Khan reversing her earlier criticism of Hania Aamir’s involvement in Indian cinema, praising the resilience of the cast and crew amid political challenges.
Khan highlighted the strategic silence maintained by the filmmakers and actors during rumours of Hania’s removal from the project, which ultimately proved unfounded.
Imran Abbas, known for his vocal stance on social and religious issues, has consistently advocated for greater respect toward Muharram in media and entertainment.
His call reflects a broader conversation within Pakistan’s entertainment industry about balancing commercial interests with cultural and religious respect.
