Sikandar director AR Murugadoss says, 'Like Ghajini, Salman Khan starrer will also have a surprise element'

Sikandar releases on Eid this year.

Salman Khan starrer Sikandar, directed by A.R. Murugadoss, is just days away from its Eid release. Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna's Sikandar is one of the most awaited films of the year.

Amidst the rising excitement for the film, director A.R. Murugadoss has shared some interesting insights about his film Sikandar.

When asked that Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini' had a strong emotional core apart from action. Will 'Sikandar' have a similar depth, the director replied, "Definitely. This is not only a mass film; it has very 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 a highlight of the film. Though 'Ghajini' seemed to be a psycho thriller to the audience, the love story of Aamir and Asin was the surprise element. Similarly, here there's an element of love which will move the audience."

Further, Murugadoss said that it is a significant film in Salman Khan's career. "It will be a significant film in Salman sir's career. It's not just an Eid entertainer-it has a mix of action, emotion, and mass appeal that will connect with audiences of all backgrounds. We've made a film that everyone, from hardcore Salman fans to family audiences, will enjoy," he added.

The noted director said he is confident of the fact that those people who loved Salman Khan in films like 'Maine Pyar Kiya' and 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun' will also like 'Sikandar'.

"It's a mass film with a strong emotional foundation, just like 'Ghajini'. People thought 'Ghajini' was just an action but the love story became its emotional core. Similarly, 'Sikandar' has that surprise element-an intense, relatable husband-wife story at its heart," he further said.

Prepare yourself for a cinematic journey this Eid 2025 as Salman Khan makes his highly awaited return to the big screen, alongside the captivating Rashmika Mandanna in Sikandar. Produced by the visionary Sajid Nadiadwala and helmed by the director A.R. Murugadoss.
