Sajid Nadiadwala’s upcoming action-packed drama Sikandar has already created a buzz, and with AR Murugadoss at the helm, expectations are sky-high. Featuring Bollywood megastar Salman Khan alongside the talented Rashmika Mandanna, the film promises a perfect blend of action, emotions, and mass entertainment.
With a stellar supporting cast including Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Anjini Dhawan, and Jatin Sarna, Sikandar is gearing up for a grand release on March 30. Salman Khan himself took to social media to share the excitement, posting, "See you in theatres worldwide on 30th March! #Sikandar #SajidNadiadwala’s #Sikandar Directed by @a.r.murugadoss."
The release date aligns with Indian festivals Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, making it a perfect festive treat for audiences across the country.
When asked about the film’s emotional depth and action-packed sequences, Murugadoss clarified that Sikandar is not just a mass action film but an emotional family drama at its core.
"This is not only a mass film; it has strong family emotions. Ghajini was about a boyfriend-girlfriend love story, but this is about a husband-wife relationship. It explores how families function today, how couples treat each other, and what we might be missing in our relationships. That will be the highlight of the film," he said.
