The real question now: Can Sikandar shake up the rankings and claim its spot among Salman’s biggest hits? Only time will tell.
Sikandar has been directed by AR Murugadoss. Talking about what makes the project special, the director said, “It will be a significant film in Salman sir’s career. It’s not just an Eid entertainer—it has a mix of action, emotions, and mass appeal that will connect with audiences of all backgrounds. We’ve made a film that everyone, from hardcore Salman fans to family audiences, will enjoy.”
In addition to Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, Sikandar also features Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj and Sharman Joshi in key roles.
The movie has been bankrolled by Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
