Filming and other deets about Sikandar
Last month, Salman Khan started filming for his much-awaited film and the actor confirmed the news by sharing a behind-the-scene picture from the sets on his social media handles. Sikandar also features Pushpa: The Rise actress Rashmika Mandanna. This will be the first time that these two stars will be seen sharing the screen together.
While Salman's last big-screen appearance was Yash Raj Films' Tiger 3, Rashmika was Animal which was released in the same year. Both the films performed exceptionally well at the box office and became highest grossers of 2024.
On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, Salman Khan treated his fans with the announcement of Sikandar along with its title poster. The film also marks the reunion of Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala after their blockbuster collaborations on iconic films like Kick, Judwaa, and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Meanwhile, AR Murugadoss, known for helming films like Ghajini and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty, is expected to bring another box office wonder.
