Sikandar Set to Rule the Box Office
With such a roaring start, Sikandar seems poised to dominate the box office. Whether it’s Salman’s charismatic screen presence or AR Murugadoss’s stylish direction, fans are already predicting that the film will be one of the biggest hits of the year.
The film's music is composed by Pritam, with the background score by Santhosh Narayanan.
