Hyderabad: Salman Khan's fans, who had been eagerly waiting for the release of the Sikandar teaser, had to wait a little longer as the release was delayed out of respect for the late former Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, who passed away on the evening of December 26. In light of his passing, the makers of Sikandar postponed the teaser by a day, releasing it today, December 28. The long wait is finally over, and fans are now eagerly looking forward to the film's release on Eid 2025.
Originally, the Sikandar teaser was scheduled for release on Salman Khan's 59th birthday, December 27. However, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the production house behind the film, announced that the release would be delayed due to national mourning following Dr. Singh's demise. Taking to social media, the makers dropped the Sikandar teaser, which has left fans delighted.
A 1 minute 41 second teaser gives a glimpse into the action-packed film, featuring Salman Khan in a larger-than-life role, who seems to be the target of many. His dialogue in Hindi which roughly translates to: "I've heard that many people are after me. It's just a matter of me turning around," is followed by him attacking an army of masked men who have seemingly come to kill him. Salman's dialogue and the masked attackers appear to be a direct jibe at the death threats the superstar has faced from anonymous groups and gangsters. Sikandar marks Salman Khan's big-screen return after Tiger 3 in 2023. Directed by the renowned Tamil filmmaker AR Murugadoss (famous for Ghajini, Thuppakki, and Sarkar), the film is expected to be a treat for Salman fans, is teaser is anything to go by.
The film also stars Vatsan Chakravarthy, Kajal Aggarwal, and Rashmika Mandanna in key roles. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his banner, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Sikandar will also mark the Bollywood debut of Tamil music composer Santhosh Narayanan, who previously worked on the Prabhas-starrer Kalki 2898 AD.
Meanwhile, on Salman Khan's 59th birthday, both the film industry and his fans showered him with heartfelt birthday wishes. Co-stars and close friends, including Varun Dhawan, Katrina Kaif, Shilpa Shetty, Ajay Devgn, Maniesh Paul, and many others, extended their warm wishes to the actor on his special day.
