Salman Khan’s action-packed film Sikandar has received a UA 13+ certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). While the trailer passed without cuts, the film itself underwent minor changes before getting approval.
The CBFC asked the makers to mute the word ‘Home’ from ‘Home Minister’ in multiple scenes. A political party hoarding was also blurred. However, no action or fight sequences were altered. After these small modifications, the censor certificate was issued on March 21.
Final Runtime Of Sikandar
There’s been some confusion about the film’s length. The censor certificate lists the runtime as 2 hours 30 minutes and 8 seconds. However, exhibition sources claim the final theatrical cut is actually 2 hours 15 minutes and 46 seconds.
The official trailer dropped on March 23 and gave fans a taste of the adrenaline rush in store. Salman Khan is seen pulling off high-octane stunts and delivering power-packed dialogues. Rashmika Mandanna’s rendition of “Lag Jaa Gale” in the second half of the trailer also grabbed attention.
What To Expect From This Eid Release?
Director AR Murugadoss revealed some key moments to watch out for. He said Salman Khan’s entry scene is one of the major highlights of the film. He also mentioned that the hero’s introduction, a big interval sequence, and an emotional moment in the second half will be some of the film’s strongest points.
Sikandar features an ensemble cast, including Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, Kajal Aggarwal, and Anjini Dhawan. AR Murugadoss, known for Ghajini (2008), directs the film, while Sajid Nadiadwala produces it under his banner, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
The film is set to hit cinemas worldwide on Sunday, March 30. Advance bookings started today on a positive note.
