Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 1: Salman Khan’s much-awaited film ‘Sikander’ was finally released on March 30, just on the first day of Eid-ul-Fitr. Sajid Nadiadwala has produced this action-thriller film by famous director A. R. Murugadoss. Along with Salman Khan, brilliant actors like Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Satyaraj, Sharman Joshi and Prateik Babbar are also seen in important roles in the film.
Eid and Salman’s Tadka!
The release of Salman Khan’s films on Eid is no less than a tradition for the fans. Last time his film ‘Tiger 3’ (2023) was a huge hit at the box office, and now the audience is expecting a similar blast from ‘Sikander’. There was already a tremendous buzz about this film, and the theaters were housefull on the first day of the show.
Competition with ‘Empuraan’ at the box office
With the release of ‘Sikandar’, this film is clashing with Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s film ‘Empuraan’ at the box office. When asked about this competition, Salman Khan jokingly said, “Is this Mohanlal sir’s film? I like him very much as an actor. And it is being directed by Prithviraj (Sukumaran)? It will surely be a great film!”
Not only this, Salman also jokingly said, “I request all MNCs (multinational companies) to increase salaries and give bonuses this month so that people can watch all three films ‘Empuraan’, ‘Sikandar’ and ‘Jaat’ (releasing on April 10).”
Salman’s first blast with A.R. Murugadoss
One unique thing about this film is that this is the first time Salman Khan and A.R. Murugadoss are working together. Murugadoss is known for his excellent action films, and he has previously given superhit films like ‘Ghajini’ and ‘Holiday’. In such a situation, this first collaboration of Salman with Murugadoss is no less than a treat for the fans. Salman is seen in his signature action avatar in the film.
Had trouble with action scenes?
Salman Khan revealed in a recent interview that it is not easy for him to do action scenes now. He said, “Almost every bone in my body has broken two to three times and every ligament has been damaged at least two to three times.” Despite this, he has performed tremendously in the film.
Will ‘Sikander’ be a blockbuster?
Looking at the film’s first glimpse, the trailer, and Salman’s star power, the film can become a superhit. According to initial reports, the opening collection of the film was excellent, and it is getting a positive response from the audience. How fast this film enters the 100 crore club must now be seen.
