Salman Khan is gearing up to deliver a power-packed performance in Sikandar, an action entertainer directed by AR Murugadoss. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film is set to hit cinemas on March 30 during Eid.
With only 10 days left for release, the final cut is now locked at 140 minutes, and the makers are preparing to submit it for CBFC certification.
Sikandar Final Cut Ready For CBFC Certification
In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Director AR Murugadoss confirmed that the film’s edit is complete. He shared, “The first half of Sikandar runs for about 1 hour 15 minutes, while the second half is 1 hour 5 minutes, making it a total of 2 hours 20 minutes.”
The excitement is building as the trailer is set to drop on March 22 or 23. It will also serve as a shout-out video for advance bookings. Murugadoss assured that the trailer will meet the expectations of Salman’s fans.
He added, “With the trailer, we have to satisfy the first-day, first-show audience – that’s our main goal. But at the same time, we also want to show that Sikandar is more than just a mass action film. It’s an entertainer with repeat value, packed with emotions.”
While the director kept plot details under wraps, he promised a film that will appeal to all kinds of audiences. Murugadoss smiled and said, “I can’t reveal much, but it’s a mass film that will thrill Salman Sir’s fans, as well as movie lovers and families. We’ve made it for everyone.”
AR Murugadoss On Wanting To Work With Salman Khan For A Long Time
Sikandar marks the first collaboration between Salman Khan and AR Murugadoss, but the duo had been trying to work together for years. Murugadoss initially approached Salman for Ghajini in 2006, but things didn’t work out.
He revealed, “I met him before Ghajini, and again multiple times with different scripts, but it just never worked out. Finally, Sajid sir called me, and this opportunity happened.”
The director recalled how Salman instantly connected with the script. He said, “I first narrated it to Sajid sir, and then we both went to meet Salman sir. He loved it. We initially asked for his dates in 2025, but he was so excited that he rescheduled another project to start shooting immediately.”
Alongside Salman Khan, Sikandar stars Rashmika Mandanna in the lead role. The film also features Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar as the antagonists.
