In a classic Salman Khan move, the superstar has fired back at director AR Murugadoss after the filmmaker claimed he used to arrive late on the sets of their film, Sikandar. Using the popular stage of Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan addressed the comments during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode with his signature wit, making his stance on the matter crystal clear.
What Director AR Murugadoss Claimed
The controversy started when director AR Murugadoss, in an interview, spoke about the challenges of working with a major Bollywood star. He claimed that Salman would often arrive on the set only by 8 PM, which forced the crew to shoot scenes meant for the daytime during the night. The director described the schedule as chaotic and hinted that the erratic timings contributed to the film’s underperformance at the box office, even while admitting his own creative faults.
Salman Khan’s Sarcastic Reply On Bigg Boss
Salman addressed the issue head-on when comedian Ravi Gupta asked him if he regretted doing any films. While he named some old projects, he clarified he had no regrets about his recent films, including Sikandar. He then directly took on the director’s comments with a playful but sharp jab. “Main set pe raat ke 9 baje pahuchta tha, meri pasaliyan tooti thi (I used to reach the set at 9 PM, but my ribs were fractured),” he said, giving a reason for his timing.
In a sarcastic tone, Salman added, “Hamare director sahab bolte the aisa, lekin unki picture jo abhi release hui hai, uske actor to 6 baje pahuchte the.” This was a clear dig at Murugadoss’s recent Tamil film, Madharaasi, suggesting that even though its actor arrived earlier, the film still struggled to find success.
A Jab At The Producer And Box Office
The actor didn’t stop there. He also remarked that both producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Murugadoss quickly distanced themselves from Sikandar after it failed to perform well at the box office. “Pehle Sajid kalti, phir Murugadoss South sidha,” he joked, implying that the team moved on quickly once the film didn’t work. To top it all off, Salman cheekily praised Murugadoss’s other film, calling Madharaasi a “bigger blockbuster than Sikandar” with a knowing smile, which drew laughs from the Bigg Boss audience.
About Sikandar
Sikandar was an action-drama film directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film starred Salman Khan in the lead role, with Rashmika Mandanna playing his late wife. The story revolved around Salman’s character, the king of Rajkot, and his mission to protect three people who received organ donations from his wife.
