Salman Khan’s Sikandar Gets Praise from Prithviraj Sukumaran Ahead of Eid 2025 Clash with Empuraan

Salman Khan is gearing up to set the box office on fire with his much-awaited action entertainer Sikandar, releasing on March 30 during Eid 2025. However, the film is set to face strong competition from Empuraan, starring South superstars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Mohanlal. Both films are slated for a grand release, making the Eid weekend a treat for cinema lovers.

At a recent press conference for Empuraan, Prithviraj Sukumaran shared his admiration for Sikandar and Salman Khan’s larger-than-life presence. He said,

"Sikandar is a huge, huge project. It’s Salman sir, one of the biggest superstars that the country has ever seen. And as usual, he is coming on Eid with this banger of a commercial flick with A. R. Murugadoss sir. I wish the team the absolute best. I hope the film goes on to become a blockbuster. I will have no complaints if you watch 11 AM Sikandar and 1 PM Empuraan."

These words reflect the mutual respect that actors from different film industries share. Salman Khan's massive fan following extends beyond Bollywood, with audiences in the South equally excited for his films. His collaborations with South actors, including Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh, have further strengthened his reach.

With Sikandar, Salman Khan teams up with Rashmika Mandanna for the first time, adding to the excitement. The film, directed by Ghajini fame A. R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, promises to be a high-octane action thriller with grand visuals and intense drama.

Eid 2025 is shaping up to be a battle of giants at the box office. Whether audiences choose Sikandar, Empuraan, or both, one thing is certain—this festive season will be an unforgettable cinematic experience!
