Box Office: With Sikandar on Eid 2025, will Salman Khan re-claim his throne?
Salman Khan will be seen in AR Murugadoss' Sikandar. The upcoming film has huge expectations to do well as his last movies haven't performed well as expected.
Salman Khan, who made his debut as a lead role in Maine Pyar Kiya in 1989, is one of the biggest superstars in Indian cinema. He started his career as a romantic hero and later reinvented himself as an action star. Two years after Tiger 3, Salman will make a comeback with Sikandar this year. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, and more.
Sikandar Has Huge Expectations To Perform Extraordinarily
Helmed by AR Murugadoss, Sikandar has been generating immense hype on the Internet through its posters, teaser, and high-octane action sequences being shot for the film. Moreover, it marks Salman's return as a lead in cinemas after Tiger 3 and that too in dual role. So naturally, fans are excited to watch the aura of their favorite superstar on the big screens this year.
The occasion of Eid is a perfect opportunity for Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer as the festival attracts the audiences in large number.
Why Sikandar's Success Is Important For Salman Khan?
The success of Sikandar is important for Salman Khan as his recent movies haven't performed well as per expectations. Tiger 3, the 2023 circumquel to Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai, earned Rs 260 crore net in India. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan netted Rs 101.50 crore in the nation.
For a superstar like Salman, these films should have touched somewhere around Rs 500 crore. While Tiger 3 reached half of it, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan couldn't even cross that. This is to note that Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan which was released the same year netted Rs 513 crore by the end of its theatrical run.
Before these films, Salman Khan worked in movies like Antim - The Final Truth and Dabangg 3, both of which were flops. His previous releases, Bharat and Race 3 emerged as semi-hit and average grossers respectively.
Tiger Zinda Hai, which hit the screens in 2017, was Salman's last blockbuster as a lead. If Sikandar receives this verdict, it will let the superstar reclaim his throne at the box office.
