Interesting facts

Sikandar is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language action drama film written and directed by A. R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. It stars Salman Khan, Kajal Aggarwal, Rashmika Mandanna, Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Jatin Sarna, Sanjay Kapoor, Prateik Smita Patil(in a special appearance) and Kishore. In the film, Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot (Khan) is motivated by a tragic accident to redeem his past by changing the lives of three people and finds himself targeted by a vengeful politician.

Production

In February 2024, it was reported that Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala would begin production on a film, nearly a decade on from their last collaboration Kick (2014): A.R. Murugadoss was then reported to be the film's director. It marks the first film between Khan and Murugadoss, who initially pitched the lead role of Ghajini (2008) to Khan. Nadiadwala and Murugadoss both recruited Khan for Sikandar.

The film was announced by Khan on his social media platforms on Eid al-Fitr in April 2024, and expressed his excitement about collaborating with Murugadoss and Nadiadwala. The film was scheduled to be filmed soon thereafter across multiple countries, including Portugal and other European countries but was delayed due to Murugadoss' commitments on Madharasi (2025).

In May 2024, Kajal Aggarwal and Rashmika Mandanna were announced as the female leads opposite Salman Khan, marking their first on-screen collaboration. Shortly thereafter, Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar were confirmed as part of the cast.

In September 2024, Sharman Joshi and Anjini Dhawan were added to the ensemble cast. The following month, Kishore also joined the film’s cast.

Principal photography commenced on 19 June 2024, with aerial-based action sequences shot in Mumbai. An action sequence between Khan and Babbar was filmed in July, and in August, further action sequences, including gun fights and hand-to-hand action sequences, were shot over a period of 40 days across Mumbai. For these sequences, it was reported that sets worth ₹15 crore were created to resemble Dharavi and Matunga.
