How much is Salman Khan charging for Sikandar?

Salman Khan's Sikander is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated films, making waves in the media ever since its announcement. Fans and critics alike have been eagerly awaiting the film's release, and the buzz surrounding it continues to grow with each passing day. But the question on many minds is: how much is the Bollywood superstar being paid for the film?

Reportedly Salman Khan is charging a hefty sum for his role in Sikander. The actor’s demand has sparked curiosity, given his immense popularity and track record of delivering blockbuster hits.

With his usual ability to pull in crowds and ensure box-office success, it’s no surprise that the actor is commanding a substantial fee for his role in this high-profile venture.

As per Filmibeat, Salman has demanded an eye-popping Rs 120 crore for the project. While the exact details of his payment structure are unclear, it remains uncertain whether the actor, known for his preference for the profit-sharing model, has opted for this approach for Sikander as well.

In addition to Salman Khan, the film also features the talented Rashmika Mandanna in a leading role. Fresh from the success of Pushpa 2 and Chhaava, Rashmika is reportedly being paid Rs 5 crore for her part in the film.

Kajal Aggarwal, who is also a part of the ensemble, is said to be receiving Rs 3 crore for her role. However, these figures have not been verified by News18 Showsha.

Sikander is one of Sajid Nadiadwala’s most ambitious projects, directed by AR Murugadoss. The film has already piqued interest with the release of its electrifying 80-second teaser.

The clip showcases Salman Khan in full action mode, making an impressive entrance as he battles masked, armoured enemies. His character, Sikander, is introduced in a striking silhouette, exuding mystery and strength—setting the tone for the high-octane drama.
