Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is set to be back on the big screen this Eid, and this time, he’s bringing the heat with ‘Sikandar’ — an action-packed mass entertainer directed by AR Murugadoss. The film’s much-awaited trailer is finally out, and it delivers everything fans expect from a Salman Khan film — explosive action, whistle-worthy dialogues, emotional drama, and larger-than-life visuals.
The trailer, which runs just over three minutes, introduces Salman as Sanjay aka Sikandar, a man who fights injustice his own way. Right from the first frame, he dominates the screen with his signature swag, slow-motion walk, and high-octane stunts. Whether it’s pulling off daring action sequences or delivering heavy-duty one-liners, the superstar is clearly in top form.
Rashmika Mandanna joins him as the female lead and shares an interesting chemistry with Salman. Her presence brings a breezy freshness to the narrative. The trailer also teases glimpses of family drama and emotional undertones, indicating that the film will balance action with heart.
Directed by AR Murugadoss, known for blockbusters like ‘Ghajini’ and ‘Thuppakki’, ‘Sikandar’ brings his usual directorial style and appears to be a blend of commercial cinema with emotional depth.
The supporting cast includes some impressive names — Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Jatin Sarna, and Anjini Dhawan — all of whom appear to have key roles. Sathyaraj seems to be playing the primary antagonist, as Minister Pradhan, a politician, adding more intensity to the narrative.
The trailer also stands out for its high production value. The action sequences are sleek and impactful, with stunts that match international standards. Filmed across Mumbai and Hyderabad, the film boasts grand sets and visual spectacle. The music by Pritam and background score Santosh Narayanan further amplify the massy tone of the trailer, complementing the action and drama. The 90s style dialogue-baazi also adds to the charm of the trailer.
‘Sikandar’ is set to hit theatres on March 30, coinciding with Eid, Gudi Padwa, and Ugadi, making it a strategic release window with huge box office potential. The trailer delivers a powerful first impression. It’s high on action, emotion, and nostalgia, promising a quintessential Salman Khan blockbuster.
