Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Mika Singh has lauded Diljit Dosanjh for taking Punjabi music to a global audience, but he also has one question for the singer-star: why does he not promote his Bollywood films more? In a recent conversation with Times Now, Mika shared he was proud of Diljit’s success but was confused by what he sees as a lack of promotion for some of his Hindi films, including Border 2 .
Adding to this, Mika Singh asks Diljit Dosanjh why he stayed quiet on Border 2 but promoted his movie with Hania Aamir. Mika questions Diljit’s Border 2 promotion Mika was asked if he felt jealous of Diljit’s success. He shared there was no reason for him to feel that way and instead spoke about how proud he was to see another Punjabi singer make it big. Mika dismissed any suggestion of jealousy, saying he was proud of Diljit and his achievements. He credited Diljit with carrying forward the legacy of Daler Mehndi as a turbaned Punjabi singer who has made a strong mark in the music industry.
Meanwhile, Mika then brought up Border 2, which starred Diljit alongside Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty. Directed by Anurag Singh, the movie is a sequel to the 1997 war drama Border and rolled out in January 2026.
Notably, According to Mika, Diljit could have spoken more about the movie and his experience of working with Sunny Deol. “I could be wrong, but I feel that when Border 2 came out, Diljit paaji did not promote it even one per cent. He didn't even thank Sunny paaji one percent. I have never seen Diljit say, ‘It is a big thing that my movie with Sunny Deol is coming.’ He never spoke about Border 2. When the movie came out, and even afterwards, I didn't see him post about it. And Main Vaapas Aaunga was also rolled out, but he didn't put up any post. He made only one post about his movie in which there was a Pakistani artist,” Mika added.
As per the latest buzz, He went on to question why Diljit would choose not to promote Bollywood projects despite being part of them. “I don't understand this. Why don't you promote Bollywood when you work in Bollywood? Then you say, 'I don't need Bollywood,' but you work in Bollywood. I am saying these things to him as a brother. Border 2 is one of the biggest films for our country. It is a movie about Hindustan. Why don't you post about it? You can check his Instagram and see if there is even one video where he has promoted Border 2,” he added.
In further updates, Diljit did share promotional material for Border 2. He unveiled his first look in December 2025 and featured in the movie’s promotional campaign. He also shared some behind-the-scenes videos from the movie and songs.
On top of that, Mika also spoke about Diljit’s Sardaar Ji 3 , which starred Hania Aamir alongside Diljit and Neeru Bajwa. “The only one he posted was about his movie with the Pakistani heroine ( Hania Aamir ). Neeru Bajwa is also in that movie, but there was no mention of Neeru Bajwa. I feel you should promote everything,” he shared.
Sardaar Ji 3 became controversial in 2025 because Hania was part of the cast. Her involvement came under scrutiny amid tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. The movie did not rollout theatrically in India and instead opened overseas on June 27, 2025.
