Salman Khan’s latest action drama, Sikandar, is poised to make its digital debut on Netflix on May 25. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film will become accessible to a broader audience as it premieres on the streaming platform following its theatrical release earlier this year. Netflix India announced the premiere through a lively social media post: “Suna hai bohot log Sikandar ka intezaar kar rahe the? Sikandar aa gaya hai Netflix par raj karne.” (Heard many were waiting for Sikandar? Sikandar is here to rule on Netflix.) The film’s arrival on OTT is expected to reignite interest among Salman Khan’s fanbase and action movie enthusiasts who might have missed it in theaters.

Sikandar was one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of 2025, thanks to its high-octane action, star-studded cast, and the collaboration between two major names in Indian cinema—Salman Khan and A. R. Murugadoss. However, while the film opened decently at the box office, it fell short of the blockbuster numbers typically associated with Khan’s Eid releases. Despite its ensemble cast and thrilling action, the film received a lukewarm response from critics and audiences, with many feeling it didn’t quite meet the expectations of a Salman Khan spectacle. In Sikandar, Salman Khan portrays Sanjay “Sikandar” Rajkot, a man with a mysterious past who finds himself pursued by a powerful politician seeking revenge for a family tragedy.

The film also features Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik, Smita Patil, Kishore, Jatin Sarna, and Sanjay Kapoor in significant roles.As the film transitions to Netflix, it offers viewers a second chance to immerse themselves in its dramatic storyline and high-energy action sequences from the comfort of their homes. With Salman Khan’s dedicated fan following and the convenience of OTT platforms, Sikandar may yet find a renewed lease on life in the digital realm. The May 25 digital release is anticipated to draw significant attention, especially among subscribers eager for a fresh dose of big-banner Bollywood action.
