Meanwhile, on the work front, Khan will be next seen in AR Murugadoss and Sajid Nadiadwala's Sikandar. The highly anticipated movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar. Sikandar will hit theaters on the occasion of Eid 2025.
Pinkvilla recently reported that Salman Khan began a 45-day marathon shooting schedule for Sikandar in Mumbai on August 26, 2024. Sources close to the project mentioned that Sajid Nadiadwala and the production team have constructed an extensive set at a Mumbai studio.
This set replicates various parts of Mumbai, a process that took more than three months and involved considerable investment to achieve realism. The set plays a vital role in the production of Sikandar, as it will be utilized for both action-packed and emotional, dramatic scenes.
After completing the Mumbai schedule, the Sikandar team plans to film another segment at an Indian palace, which will last about 15 to 20 days. According to a source, the team is currently choosing a palace that will add to the film's grandeur and production value. This third phase of filming is expected to begin around November.
Earlier reports from Pinkvilla revealed that Salman, who plays the title role, portrays a character with elements of arrogance. The source mentioned that Khan’s character, Sikandar, truly reflects the traits of someone from a royal background, showcasing anger and arrogance.
It is noteworthy that the last time Salman played a "bad boy" was in a subplot of Sultan. The source added that in Eid 2025, fans can look forward to seeing Salman in a role they will thoroughly enjoy.
