The excitement surrounding Salman Khan‘s upcoming film Sikandar is intensifying as fans eagerly anticipate this action-packed thriller. The film’s trailer, recently unveiled, showcases Salman in a gritty, unrelenting role as a champion for the oppressed, battling injustice with determination. However, it is his unexpected emotional depth that truly stands out. In a candid conversation with director AR Murugadoss and fellow actor Aamir Khan, Salman’s skill in delivering heartfelt performances became the centerpiece of discussion.
During a lively exchange, Salman and Aamir playfully nudged Murugadoss to declare a preference. Salman probed with questions, seeking to know who was the superior actor and more committed. Aamir, in a light-hearted response, dismissed the seriousness of the questions at first, but then grew sincere, lauding Salman’s acting abilities. “Sir, the actor also, he’s better. Have you seen Dabangg?” Aamir remarked, his admiration evident as he emphasized Salman’s ability to convey emotional nuances effectively.
Director AR Murugadoss expressed his respect for Salman’s intuitive grasp of emotional scenes. “Salman handles emotional scenes exceptionally well. He often cries on cue, without needing glycerin,” Murugadoss shared. Aamir concurred, describing Salman’s emotional portrayals as “outstanding.” Murugadoss further explained that capturing raw emotion with the camera focused solely on the actor’s face, without a co-star for support, is a formidable task. Nonetheless, Salman accomplishes it with authenticity, displaying an intensity that cannot be mimicked.
During this discussion, other talents were also recognized. Rashmika Mandanna, who stars alongside Salman in Sikandar, received praise for her dedication. Salman spoke appreciatively of her discipline, highlighting her ability to manage the rigorous shooting schedules of both Sikandar and Pushpa 2, often working long, demanding hours without a break. “She’s incredibly hardworking, and her commitment to the craft is inspiring,” Salman noted.
With a renowned ensemble cast, including not only Salman, but also Kajal Aggarwal and Rashmika Mandanna, Sikandar is set for a March 30, 2025 release. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film promises to deliver a captivating mix of action and emotion. Directed by Murugadoss, who has directed previous successes like Ghajini and Holiday, Sikandar is anticipated as a must-watch for all Salman Khan fans.
