Salman Khan met his fans on April 5, just a week after Sikandar hit theatres. The film failed to meet expectations and left fans disappointed. Many of them took to social media and voiced their frustration instead of defending the film.
Fans started trending hashtags on X (formerly Twitter) and urged Salman to make better film choices. Their posts caught the actor’s attention, which led to a real meeting.
Salman Khan Meets Fans After Sikandar Fails To Meet Expectations
According to Bollywood Hungama, Salman sat down with a group of fans, along with his manager Jordy Patel and business head Vikram Tanwar. The fans didn’t hold back during the discussion.
They raised concerns about the film’s content, direction, and weak marketing. “They also showed their trends on X and how they have been incessantly tweeting as they care for him big time and want him to make better choices,” a source said.
Salman also opened up about his own doubts. The source revealed, “He confessed that from the nascent stage, he felt something was off about Sikandar.” He felt the film didn’t come together the way a big project should.
Fans also criticised producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s team. They complained about the film getting leaked on the day of its release. They felt the team didn’t take the issue seriously. Some fans were also upset with Warda Nadiadwala’s tweets and showed Salman screenshots of them.
Fans Want Salman To Work With Directors Like Kabir Khan And Ali Abbas Zafar
Fans asked Salman to work again with directors like Kabir Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar. They reminded him of the blockbuster films he delivered with both of them. They also said these directors understand his strengths and give him strong scripts.
Fans gave another suggestion during the meeting. They told Salman to have someone like Shah Rukh Khan’s manager, Pooja Dadlani, who acts as a bridge between the star and his fans. They felt Salman needed someone to read fan messages, share feedback, and keep that connection strong.
The meeting went on for about an hour. Salman listened to everything and promised to take their suggestions seriously. The source added, “It’s unprecedented to see a star of this stature meeting the fans in this manner and listening to their woes.”
Despite Sikandar’s failure and criticism for its outdated story and execution, fans believe this meeting could mark a turning point. With better choices and trusted directors, they’re confident Salman will bounce back.
