Exactly a week ago, Salman Khan’s highly anticipated film Sikandar was released, but it failed to meet the expectations of many viewers. Instead of defending the star’s choices, his large fan base began expressing their dissatisfaction with Sikandar and recent film selections. They created various trends on X (formerly Twitter), hoping to capture Salman Khan’s attention. Thankfully, he noticed their concerns, leading to a meeting on April 5 with some of his fans.

According to BH, the meeting included Salman Khan, his manager Jordy Patel, business head Vikram Tanwar, and several fans. During the gathering, fans candidly shared their grievances about Sikandar, expressing that his recent films had not lived up to expectations. They showcased their trends on X, emphasizing their deep care for him and their desire for better film choices.A source revealed, “Salman was touched by the love and concern from his fans. He admitted that he sensed something was off about Sikandar from the start and that it didn’t align with the standards expected of a major film. He promised to focus on projects that would bring joy to his fans.”

The source continued, “Fans criticized not only the film’s content but also its marketing efforts. They expressed frustration to Sajid Nadiadwala’s team concerning the film leak on its release day, feeling the producer’s team didn’t take their concerns seriously. They were also upset by disparaging tweets from Warda Nadiadwala directed at fans, which they brought to Salman’s attention.”Fans urged Salman to collaborate with reputable directors like Kabir Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar, who have previously delivered blockbusters and share a good rapport with him. They suggested that, similar to Pooja Dadlani, who serves as a bridge between Shah Rukh Khan and his fans, Salman should appoint someone proactive in his team to keep him updated on fan messages and feedback.

The source concluded, “Salman Khan promised to consider all these points. The meeting lasted for an hour, and it’s rare to see a star of his stature engage with fans in this manner, genuinely listening to their concerns. Once again, Salman Khan demonstrates that he’s a unique star. With this thoughtful approach, there’s no doubt he will bounce back strongly; it’s only a matter of time.”
