Salman Khan’s Sikandar has been trending ever since its teaser dropped. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film promises a high-energy political action thriller. But some fans have pointed out similarities between Sikandar and Thalapathy Vijay’s Sarkar, sparking rumours that it might be a remake.
Is Salman Khan’s Sikandar A REMAKE?
The teaser introduces Salman as Sanjay Rajkot, who takes on a corrupt politician, Minister Pradhan, played by Sathyaraj. Some social media users believe the film shares the same storyline as Sarkar.
One even pointed out that both movies have the same director. Another speculated that the filmmakers were keeping the plot under wraps because it was a remake.

However, industry insiders have denied these claims. Reports confirm that Sikandar is an original story written by AR Murugadoss years ago. The screenplay has been developed by Rajat Arora, Abbas Dalal, and Hussain Dalal.
A senior journalist clarified, “Sikandar is an original feature film curated by Sajid Nadiadwala and AR Murugadoss for Salman Khan. It is NOT a remake of any Tamil film.” The post also mentioned that the film is now in its final stages of shooting and is set to release on Eid 2025.
Bollywood has seen similar remake speculations before. Shahid Kapoor’s Deva was claimed to be an original film, but after its release, fans realised it was a frame-by-frame remake of Mumbai Police. This has led to doubts among audiences, who now demand clarity from filmmakers.
About Sarkar
Directed by AR Murugadoss, Sarkar was a political action thriller about an NRI who fights a corrupt government after uncovering voter fraud. The film was a major success in Tamil cinema, which is why comparisons with Sikandar have surfaced.
Whether Sikandar is inspired by Sarkar or not will only be clear when the film hits cinemas. For now, the makers insist that it is an original film with a fresh story. Fans will have to wait until Eid 2025 to see it unfold on the big screen. If it’s not, it will end the debate all at once. But if it is found to be a REMAKE, the film will have to rely on Salman Khan’s star power.
