Anticipation is running high for Salman Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, and AR Murugadoss’ Sikandar. Now, Pinkvilla exclusively got its hands on an image of SK and Sajid from the sets and learned that Khan is resuming shooting for Nadiadwala’s upcoming project despite a rib injury. The film’s team is currently working on a meticulously designed set representing Dharavi and Matunga, which has cost around Rs 15 crore to create.

The schedule is set to last for 45 days before the crew relocates to a palace in Hyderabad for the next phase of production. Khan, dedicated to his role, is managing to perform with full care despite his injury.

Pinkvilla earlier reported that Salman’s character includes elements of arrogance. His character embodies the true essence of a ‘Sikandar,’ coming from a royal lineage and displaying traits of anger and arrogance. It was noted that Salman last explored a ‘bad boy’ persona in a subplot of Sultan and fans loved it.

During the first schedule, Salman filmed a fight scene with the villain’s son aboard a private chartered plane, with the antagonist portrayed by Sathyaraj, known for his role in Baahubali. Reportedly, Khan is working with the action directors of Tom Cruise-starrer Mission Impossible. Now, according to the latest development, Salman will reportedly shoot for three action sequences along with an aerial scene in its next schedule.

As Salman aims to focus entirely on Sikandar, set for release on Eid 2025, he has stepped away from several other projects over the past two months. This dedication to his upcoming film might also explain his absence from hosting the OTT version of the reality TV show Bigg Boss 3.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the Nadiadwala Grandson banner, Sikandar is scheduled for release on Eid 2025. Salman Khan announced the film on Instagram this Eid. The movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Prateik Babbar in significant roles.
