Fans have expressed their enthusiasm, with one commenting, “A Gaya sher ab hoga mouth ka nanga nach #sikander 2k coror kamayegi inshallah.” Another fan added, “MEGA BLOCKBUSTER hai Bhai can’t wait for Eid.”The action-packed teaser for Sikandar, along with its chart-topping tracks Zohra Jabeen and Bam Bam Bhole, has already set the stage for what promises to be a blockbuster. The new poster further amplifies the film’s intensity and anticipation.

Unique Release Strategy

Khan’s Sikandar is poised for a festival release, coinciding with Eid al-Fitr, hitting theaters on March 30. Interestingly, March 30 falls on a Sunday rather than the traditional Friday release. Reports suggest that this unconventional choice may have been influenced by Khan’s previous film, Tiger 3, which premiered on a Monday. Initially expected to release on Eid, Tiger 3 faced a delay and ultimately launched during Diwali 2023, yet still managed to gross approximately Rs 466 crores against a budget of Rs 300 crores.With Sikandar, audiences can anticipate high-octane action sequences and Salman’s signature swag. Ahead of the film’s debut, director A.R. Murugadoss has assured fans that the story of Sikandar is entirely original and not a remake of any existing film. As the excitement builds, fans eagerly await this thrilling cinematic experience.
