With much anticipation, Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala began this production earlier this year. He will make his theatrical comeback in Sikandar in a bulky role. However, it appears that the movie encountered a problem following Baba Siddique’s murder. We learn that Salman has made the decision to remain in place for the next few days at the very least, since the Khan family is concerned about the shooting outside their home and the death of a close friend and significant political player.
Although the exact time has not been decided as to how long will Salman Khan will not be participating in the shoot, sources close to the actor have reportedly asserted that it is the best solution for the star as of now. “It is no longer enough to provide him stern security. For some time now, Salman would have to lie really now. He won’t be shooting for anything for quite a while, indefinitely I’d say,” a source was quoted saying to media .
“Abhi kuch nahin kaha jaa sakta hai (Nothing can be said as of now). Sikandar requires a whole lot of choreographed action. Director Murugadoss needed Salman’s full attention. But right now that seems impossible. The way ahead is still very unclear. Right now, the most important thing is Salman and his family’s safety. That won’t be compromised under any circumstance,” the source added.
A R Murugadoss is the director of Sikandar, which features a large ensemble cast that includes Rashmika Mandanna as the lead actress and Kajal Aggarwal and Prateik Babbar in important roles. Sajid Nadiadwala is the film’s producer, and its release date is set for Eid 2025. However, given Khan’s abrupt decision to take a hiatus, it is unclear if the producers would stick with this release date.
