In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Sikandar's BGM composer, Santhosh Narayanan, has opened up about the stunning response to the film's teaser and music.
Salman Khan's Sikandar teaser released after a lot of anticipation on December 28, 2024. In no time, it set the internet on fire thanks to the superstar's personality and Santhosh Narayanan's foreboding BGM, which amplified the impact. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, the BGM composer shared that the superstar was involved in the making of the teaser. He also shared that he's trying to elevate the superstar's personality in some mass scenes.

He said, "I have been an admirer of Salman sir since childhood and wanted to mix contemporary electronic sounds and some retro/acoustic elements, both for the teaser and the score."
When asked if he received any words of appreciation from Salman Khan after the good response to the teaser on social media, Santhosh responds enthusiastically. He said, "Very grateful for all the comments and feedback. Just shows the reach of the man himself. Salman sir liked the teaser music and felt it sounded different. He was involved even while working on the teaser and gave some valuable inputs too."
