Filmmaker AR Murugadoss has recently revealed the struggles of working with Salman Khan, and it seems like the actor’s fans are not happy with the comment.

In a recent interview, the filmmaker said, “Salman Khan often came late, so even day scenes were filmed at night. The crew, used to early mornings, had to wait till 8 PM or later. Shooting mostly happened indoors, with heavy use of VFX to make night shots look like daylight.”

The director further suggested that the constant changes on the set increased the pressure. Additionally, the late-night shoots were tough for the child actors who had to stay awake for scenes at 2 AM. He claimed that they got tired because of the schedule and fell asleep.

The filmmaker also took the responsibility for Sikandar’s failure at the box office and admitted, “The story was emotional, but I couldn’t execute it well.”

However, Salman Khan’s fans called out the filmmaker over his comment. One person wrote backed the actor and tweeted, “Salman Khan was going through a major personal crisis during the shooting of Sikandar. He was getting threats, his close friend Baba Siddique was killed and even his health wasn't the best.”
The rant continued, “This was known to everyone yet he kept his commitment towards 'Sikandar' and AR Murugadoss. He had already explained his working hours to the director. So, this sudden dig by Murugadoss feels terribly opportunistic and hypocritical. And he himself has only been giving FLOPS for many years.”
