Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is all set to collaborate with Ghajini director AR Murugadoss for the first time, and on the auspicious occasion of Eid, the actor announced the title of the film as a gift for his fans. The film, which is scheduled for a 2025 release, has been titled Sikandar.
On Thursday, Salman took to his Instagram handle to drop the first poster of the film, announcing its name. “Salman Khan in & as Sikandar. An AR Murugadoss film,” the post read.
The superstar also confirmed that the film will release in theatres on Eid 2025.
This year is the first time in many years that Salman did not release a film on Eid. Instead, Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan clashed at the box office on Eid.
However, Salman promised his fans, “Iss Eid ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ aur ‘Maidaan’ ko dekho aur agli Eid Sikandar se aa kar milo,” while also adding, “Wish u all Eid Mubarak!”
Earlier, announcing his collaboration with AR Murugadoss, Salman had called it “a very exciting film”. “This collaboration is special, and I look forward to this journey with your love and blessings,” he had said.
Sikandar will be bankrolled by Sajid Nadiadwala, and details about the female lead, plot and other aspects have been kept heavily under the wraps.
Besides Sikandar, Salman has the sequel to his superhit film, Kick, in the pipeline. He is also set to join hands with Karan Johar for a film titled ‘The Bull’, which will be helmed by Vishnuvardhan. However, the film has reportedly run into murky waters and if reports are to be believed, the makers are planning to put it on the backburner for the time being.
