Salman Khan’s much-awaited film Sikandar has generated excitement with its newly released teaser. Directed by AR Murugadoss and starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, the teaser offers a thrilling glimpse of what’s to come in the film, which is set to hit theaters in 2025. Here’s everything you need to know about the teaser and the upcoming movie.
A Glimpse into the World of Sikandar
The teaser for Sikandar was officially released on Saturday, after a slight delay due to the passing of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The producers took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the exciting news with fans, saying, “Ab intezaar hua khatam. Here’s presenting a glimpse of the world of Sikandar. A gift to all the fans who have been waiting to see the First Look! Thank you for all the love and patience… See you all in cinemas this EID.”
The 1 minute 41-second teaser showcases Salman Khan as Sikandar, a man who walks into a room filled with weapons and people dressed in samurai armor. As he stands confidently, he is clearly aware that he has entered a dangerous situation. With a calm and collected demeanor, he says, “Suna hain ki bohot saare log mere peeche pade hain. Bas, meri mudne ki der hain.” (I’ve heard a lot of people have it out for me. Just wait for me to turn around). The teaser ends on a high note, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more of Salman’s action-packed performance.
A Delayed Release and Salman’s Birthday Celebrations
The teaser for Sikandar was initially scheduled to be released on December 27, Salman Khan’s birthday. However, out of respect for the passing of Manmohan Singh, the release was delayed by one day. Salman celebrated his 59th birthday in Jamnagar, Gujarat, surrounded by his loved ones. The birthday bash was hosted by the Ambanis and was attended by Salman’s family, including his brother Sohail Khan and nephews Nirvaan and Arhaan. A special moment from the celebration also saw Salman posing for a picture with Anant Ambani.
