Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna are set to entertain audiences with their upcoming highly anticipated action-packed film, 'Sikandar.'. Directed by the acclaimed AR Murugadoss, known for hits like 'Ghajini' and 'Thuppakki,' this film has been generating buzz since its announcement. As the release date approaches, fans are eager to know more about what 'Sikandar' has in store.

'Sikandar' is scheduled to hit theaters worldwide on March 30, 2025. This date is particularly significant as it coincides with major festivals such as Eid worldwide, Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, and Ugadi in South India, both marking the traditional New Year. The film's release during these celebrations is expected to draw large crowds, adding to the festive fervor. Salman Khan shared the news on his Instagram, posting a striking poster of the film with the caption, "See you in theaters worldwide on 30th March! #Sikandar #SajidNadiadwala's #Sikandar Directed by @a.r.murugadoss."

Director AR Murugadoss has confirmed that the final cut of 'Sikandar' has been locked, with a total runtime of approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. The film is structured into two halves: the first half runs for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, while the second half is around 1 hour and 5 minutes. Murugadoss emphasized that 'Sikandar' is crafted as a mass entertainer with broad appeal. In an interview with Pinkvilla, he said, "It's a film with lots of emotion, and we are targeting all sections of audiences—from Salman sir fans to masses, classes, and the family audience."
In a conversation with ETimes, talking about his experience working with Salman, Murugadoss said, “Salman sir is completely different. The scale of 'Sikandar' was massive—we often had scenes with 10,000 to 20,000 people on set. Managing such large crowds required high security and intense coordination.”

Alongside Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, 'Sikandar' boasts a talented ensemble cast. Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Anjini Dhawan, and Jatin Sarna play pivotal roles, each bringing depth to the narrative.
