Salman Khan is set to start filming for his new movie 'Sikandar' in May, under the direction of AR Murugadoss. This project marks the first time Salman will work with Murugadoss, known for directing the hit film 'Ghajini.' 'Sikandar' is anticipated to be an action-packed movie, scheduled to release around Eid in 2025.
Recent reports, including one from MidDay, highlight that while Salman is gearing up for 'Sikandar,' Murugadoss is currently busy directing another action film, temporarily titled 'SK23' featuring actor Sivakarthikeyan. This movie is expected to continue shooting until June 2024.
A source revealed plans regarding the filming schedule: “Murugadoss aims to complete most of 'SK23' before starting 'Sikandar'. He plans to begin 'Sikandar' in May, pause to finish up 'SK23' in June, and then fully dedicate his efforts to Salman's film from July onwards."
Salman Khan recently took to Instagram to announce the title of the film and share its poster. His post read: "This Eid watch ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ and ‘Maidaan’, and next Eid come meet 'Sikandar'. Wish u all Eid Mubarak!"
'Sikandar' also marks another collaboration between Salman Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala. They have previously worked together on several successful films, including 'Kick', 'Judwaa', and 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'. Their partnership has consistently delivered popular films, and expectations are high for this latest venture.
AR Murugadoss isn’t new to Bollywood. He made a successful Hindi debut with 'Ghajini', which was a box office hit, grossing over Rs 100 crore. He also directed 'Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty' starring Akshay Kumar, further establishing his reputation in the industry.
With Salman Khan's massive fan following and Murugadoss's track record of successful films, 'Sikandar' is poised to be a major release. Fans of action cinema and Bollywood aficionados are eagerly anticipating this combination of star power and directorial prowess, promising thrilling entertainment for Eid 2025. As the shooting progresses and more details emerge, the excitement will only increase.
