Border 2: Diljit Dosanjh removed from Sunny Deol's film amid boycott pressure?
In a sudden twist, it seems that Diljit Dosanjh is likely being removed from Sunny Deol starrer Border 2.
Border 2, starring Sunny Deol in the lead role is making the headlines ever since the ambitious project was announced with a star-studded cast. However, in a twist of fate, it looks like Diljit Dosanjh might no longer be a part of the movie.
Diljit Dosanjh ousted from Sunny Deol’s Border 2?
According to India Today’s report, the actor-singer was dropped from the film. The decision, however, is said to be made collectively by the makers and the rest of the actors.
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has officially boycotted the actor owing to controversial reasons related to his other film.
While an official confirmation from the makers is still pending, Diljit was working on the upcoming movie at the National Defence Academy (NDA).
The FWICE recently penned a letter regarding the singer and notified Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh about the actor-singer getting boycotted.
The letter was written in hopes of the ministry withdrawing permission for the movie’s shoot at NDA.
Earlier, at Pinkvilla, we exclusively reported that Diljit was supposed to join the shoot on June 10. Reports indicate that actor Ammy Virk might replace the Chamkila star.
