According to latest reports, Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna will be kicking off the final leg of shoot for Sikandar later this week. Read full details inside.
Salman Khan’s Sikandar has raised everyone’s anticipation ever since its announcement in April 2024. Fans went ballistic when the makers released the heart-thumping teaser, showcasing the superstar as Sikandar. While the film is poised to release on Eid 2025, the latest reports suggest that the superstar will begin the final leg of the upcoming action entertainer later this week, on January 10.
According to a recent report published in Mid-Day, Salman Khan will kick off the final leg of Sikandar this week on January 10 in Mumbai. It has been revealed that Khan and Rashmika Mandanna will return to the set to complete the film. “Even though the film is due for release in March, the team is confident of comfortably completing it on time,” a source was quoted as saying.
The report further stated that, in an attempt to ensure the release of the film stays on schedule, director AR Murugadoss is simultaneously overseeing post-production work while shooting new portions. Additionally, the upcoming hardcore action entertainer will feature music that enhances the visual spectacle.
“Of course, the film features high-octane action scenes, but the audience will also be surprised by the background score, which will strike an emotional chord. The music album by Pritam is vibrant and celebratory,” the source further added.
On December 28, the teaser for Sikandar was dropped, featuring Salman entering a room armed with weapons, surrounded by people dressed in samurai armor. “Suna hai ki bohot saare log mere peeche pade hain. Bas, meri mudne ki der hai.” ("I've heard a lot of people are after me. Just wait for me to turn around.") the superstar is heard saying in his deep baritone voice.
From stylish hand-to-hand combat and intense gun sequences to a peppy background score, the short introduction to the world of Sikandar was enough to send fans into a frenzy.
Directed by AR Murugadoss, Sikandar will also feature Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, and Prateik Babbar in significant roles. The film marks Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala’s collaboration nearly 10 years after Kick. Backed by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film is set to release on Eid 2025, i.e., March later this year.
