Salman Khan Looks Charming As He Gets Spotted Ahead Of Sikandar’s Release; Smiles For Paps

Salman Khan's highly anticipated action thriller, "Sikandar," is set to hit theaters on March 30th, marking his return to Eid releases after a hiatus. Directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film has generated considerable excitement among fans following the release of its trailer. The film features Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead.

Salman Khan was recently seen in the city, radiating his signature charm. Dressed casually, he looked dapper as he posed for the cameras. Fans were quick to express their admiration, showering him with praise and affectionately calling him the "King of Bollywood." The comment section was filled with heart emojis.

According to sacnlik.com, "Sikandar" has already sold 76,006 tickets in Hindi 2D and 282 tickets in Hindi IMAX, with four days remaining before its release. The film has secured block bookings, resulting in ticket sales worth Rs 6.61 crore for the opening day. "Sikandar" has a total of 9128 screenings scheduled across India.

During the trailer launch event for "Sikandar," Salman Khan expressed his appreciation for the unwavering support of his fans, acknowledging their love for his films. He playfully remarked that his audience consistently helps his films cross the Rs 100 crore mark, regardless of whether the film is well-received or not.

Eid, Diwali, New Year, festive, non-festive, it’s the love of the people and picture achi ho ya buri ho, wo sau [Rs 100 crore] toh paar kara hi dete hain (laughs)

He quickly corrected himself, stating that the figure was actually Rs 200 crore. "Rs 100 crore bohot pehle ki baat hain (Rs 100 crore is a thing of the past)," he added.

Salman's last major release was "Tiger 3," which premiered during Diwali 2023 and received mixed reviews from audiences. The film reportedly earned around Rs 286 crore Nett in India, against a production budget of Rs 300 crore.

His previous Eid release, "Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan," in 2023, fell short of reaching the Rs 200 crore mark, earning approximately Rs 180 crore Nett worldwide. Therefore, it will be interesting to observe the box office performance of "Sikandar."

The film also features Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and Sathyaraj in prominent roles.
