Get ready for a high-octane action extravaganza! Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has joined forces with acclaimed director A.R. Murugadoss for his next film, titled “Sikandar.” The official announcement, which coincided with Eid al-Fitr on April 11, 2024, has sent fans into a frenzy.
Salman Khan took his Instagram to share the official announcement and writes “Iss Eid Bade Miyan Chote Miyan aur Maidaan ko dekho aur agli Eid Sikandar se aa kar milo… Wish u all Eid Mubarak”.
This marks the first time collaboration between Khan and Murugadoss, known for delivering blockbusters like “Ghajini” and “Holiday: A Soldier is Never Off Duty.” The buzz surrounding “Sikandar” is palpable, with expectations soaring due to the combined star power of Khan and Murugadoss’s reputation for action-packed narratives.
Sajid Nadiadwala, known for backing big-budget films under his banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, will be producing “Sikandar.” This collaboration between Khan, Murugadoss, and Nadiadwala promises a high-quality production with all the ingredients of a quintessential Bollywood blockbuster.
While the official release date hasn’t been announced yet, Salman Khan has confirmed that “Sikandar” will hit the theatres during Eid 2025. This strategic release window indicates the makers’ confidence in the film’s potential to become a major festival hit. Eid releases have traditionally proven lucky for Salman Khan, with films like “Dabangg,” “Ek Tha Tiger,” and “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” minting gold at the box office during the festive period.
The announcement of “Sikandar” has not only generated excitement among fans but has also stirred interest within the industry. Trade experts believe the film has the potential to break records and become one of the biggest releases of 2025. Khan’s immense fan following, coupled with Murugadoss’s proven directorial skills, creates a formidable combination that is likely to resonate with audiences across the country.
With “Sikandar,” Salman Khan is looking to continue his reign at the box office. A. R. Murugadoss, on the other hand, will be aiming to deliver another commercial success after his last directorial venture “Darbar,” which received mixed reviews.
The wait for “Sikandar” is sure to be filled with anticipation. As more details about the film’s plot, cast, and music are revealed, the excitement is bound to reach a fever pitch. With Eid 2025 as the target release window, Salman Khan and A.R. Murugadoss are gearing up to deliver a cinematic experience that promises action, entertainment, and possibly, another Eid blockbuster for Khan.
