Adding to the film’s star power is Rashmika Mandanna, who plays the female lead opposite Salman Khan. This will be one of Rashmika’s biggest films, as she continues to make a strong impact in Bollywood. The casting of Kajal Aggarwal in a pivotal role further enhances the star-studded lineup, making Sikandar one of the most anticipated films in recent times.

Kajal Aggarwal’s Role in Sikandar

While not much has been revealed about Kajal’s role in the film, her inclusion has certainly added to the buzz. This will be Kajal’s first time sharing screen space with Salman Khan, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how their chemistry unfolds. Having worked with top actors in the South Indian film industry, Kajal’s Bollywood appearances are always met with high expectations, and Sikandar is no exception.

 
The excitement surrounding the film is also due to the fact that Sikandar is Kajal Aggarwal’s third major release lined up for 2025. Apart from Sikandar, she is also a part of Kamal Haasan's Indian 3 and Vishnu Manchu’s mythological film Kannappa where she has a pivotal cameo. With such a packed schedule, 2025 is set to be a busy and monumental year for the actress.
The buzz around Sikandar escalated further after Kajal’s Instagram post went viral. Fans took to social media to express their excitement, with many eagerly anticipating the fresh on-screen pairing of Salman Khan and Kajal Aggarwal. The two actors have never worked together before, and fans are curious to see how their chemistry will translate on the big screen.
One fan wrote on Twitter, “Eagerly waiting to see the chemistry between them on-screen. #Sikandar is getting bigger and better day by day.” This sentiment was echoed by many others, who are eagerly following the updates from the set of Sikandar.

Salman Khan’s Return to the Big Screen

Sikandar also marks Salman Khan’s return to the big screen after a year-long gap. His last release was Tiger 3 in 2023, and since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for his next big project. Sikandar promises to deliver on all fronts, with action, drama, and a star-studded cast. Salman Khan’s involvement alone is enough to ensure that the film will be a major box office success, but with the addition of Kajal Aggarwal and Rashmika Mandanna, the film’s appeal has only grown.

Release and Future Prospects

Sikandar is set for a 2025 release, and while the official date is yet to be announced, the excitement around the project is palpable. With a director like AR Murugadoss at the helm, fans can expect a thrilling and well-crafted cinematic experience. The film is one of several big projects lined up for Salman Khan, who is also involved in Indian 3 and Kannappa, further solidifying his dominance in the Indian film industry.
