Salman Khan, the most iconic star in Bollywood, is in the news again as he resumes shooting for his most-anticipated film Sikandar despite a rib injury. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by A.R. Murugadoss. It is expected to be an action entertainer, which will see fans look ahead to it with bated breath.
Salman Khan’s Dedication
At a time when he suffered a rib injury, Salman Khan went back to the shooting of Sikandar without wasting any time. In a recently released picture from the sets of the movie, Khan was all smiles with the film’s producer, Sajid Nadiadwala. The picture shows Khan’s commitment to work as he seems determined to go about his work commitments despite the injury he has suffered.
This shooting schedule, which is being conducted in Mumbai, is going to last for a period of 45 days in which the team will be busy shooting some intricate action sequences. Later, it shifts to a grand palace in Hyderabad to resume the production activities, thereby adding to the wholesome thrill in the development experience.
High Production Values
High points of Sikandar are that it has some impressive set designs. For a minutest detail replica of Mumbai’s Dharavi and Matunga areas, the production team has spent around Rs. 15 crores. It is not only a commitment to authenticity that really makes the film visually appealing, but more fundamentally such production values demonstrate that Sikandar has taken the Sajid Nadiadwala mantle quite seriously.
Professional stuntmen from the series Mission Impossible are choreographing action scenes for the movie. This automatically raises expectations of heart-pounding action in visually effective shots that will have the audience on the edge of their seats.
A Star-Studded Cast
Sikandar boasts an ensemble cast, with acting contributions from the likes of talented actors such as Rashmika Mandanna, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj, who is well renowned in the Baahubali franchise. The storyline involves Salman Khan’s character, which incorporates arrogance with a hint of royalty to further intensify the storyline .
It is a big reunion for Salman Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, too, as both have worked together in Kick and Judwaa previously. The combination is expected to weave magic once again on screen due to their immense experience and skill in the industry.
Anticipation and Release Date
Ever since the announcement of Sikandar, the frenzy amongst fans has refused to die down-be it social media or heated discussions. The release of the film is scheduled during Eid 2025, a strategic decision in view of the fact that most Bollywood films that are released on the occasion of Eid reap tremendous box office returns every year.
While Salman Khan continued to focus on Sikandar, he withdrew from other commitments, including hosting Bigg Boss 3 on OTT. This must be in keeping with his commitment to excellence in the high-stakes action film.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, Salman Khan returning to the sets of Sikandar, despite his injury to his ribs, signifies his dedication to his craft and his fans. Heavy investment in set design, an ensemble cast comprising leading stars, and high-octane action sequences mean Sikandar is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about films in times to come. As filming progresses, fans can expect further updates and behind-the-scenes insight from this exciting project, which promises a thrilling cinematic experience come Eid 2025.
