The poster depicts Salman in a commanding position, surrounded by a sense of mystery. It portrays him in a dark silhouette, with a pointed, spear-like weapon. Salman's commanding presence echoes Sikandar's irrepressible demeanour, promising to leave viewers speechless. The film also reunites Salman with Sajid Nadiadwala following their 2014 success Kick, which marked Nadiadwala's directorial debut.
Sikandar, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by A R Murugadoss, is billed as a cinematic spectacle that combines action, drama, and passion. The film will feature Salman Khan in a hitherto unseen persona. Earlier, a source close to the production told us that the teaser would last 80 seconds. Fans are thrilled about this major project and have been waiting with bated breath for the film's trailer to be released.
