Is ‘Sikandar’ starring Salman Khan copy of any South Indian film? Director clears the air

Sikandar
  • Salman Khan’s upcoming film, Sikandar, is not a remake of any movie.
  • The director confirmed that it is an entirely original story.
  • Social media users had called it a remake of action-thriller Sarkar.

Bollywood megastar Salman Khan’s much-awaited Eid release, Sikandar, is not a remake or an adaptation of any film but an entirely original story, as confirmed by its director, AR Murugadoss.

Following the release of Sikandar’s official teaser last month, social media has been abuzz with comparisons. Some users have drawn parallels between the high-octane action film and Prashanth Neel’s Salaar, starring South Indian superstar Prabhas, while others speculated that it might be a remake of Thalapathy Vijay’s action-thriller Sarkar.

However, putting all speculation to rest, AR Murugadoss issued a statement clarifying that Sikandar is an entirely fresh concept. “This is a completely original story,” he affirmed. “Every scene and every frame of Sikandar has been designed and executed with authenticity, offering a fresh narrative and experience.”

The director further emphasized, “It’s not a remake or adaptation of any existing film.” He also highlighted the film’s distinctive musical composition, stating, “An essential part of the film’s originality is its stunning background score, crafted by the immensely talented Santosh Narayanan. His music perfectly complements the film’s energetic tone and vibrant visuals, adding an emotional depth that enhances every scene.”

Apart from Salman Khan in the lead role, Sikandar boasts an ensemble cast, including South Indian sensation Rashmika Mandanna as his love interest, along with Kajal Aggarwal, Anjini Dhawan, Prateik Babbar, Sharman Joshi, and veteran actor Sathyaraj. The action-packed entertainer is produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.

Scheduled to release in theatres this month, Sikandar is set to coincide with Eid-ul-Fitr 2025, adding to the festive celebrations for Salman Khan’s fans worldwide.

  • Salaar’s cinematographer shared a BTS picture from the set of the Prabhas-starrer.
  • Fans have been asking for an update on the teaser of the Telugu film.
  • Salaar is directed by KGF fame Prashanth Neel.

 

The cinematographer for Salaar posted a BTS image from the set of the Prabhas-starring film, which has enthused his followers. They requested an update on the Telugu movie’s teaser, which was helmed by Prashanth Neel of KGF fame. Prashanth Neel, known for his work on the KGF, is directing Prabhas in Salaar, which is now under production. Prabhas fans are thrilled as the movie’s cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda shared a BTS photo from the shoot. Many of them wanted an update on the Salaar teaser in the comments section of his post. Salaar, which is rumored to be a remake of the Kannada film Ugramm, marks Prashanth and Prabhas’ first collaboration after the wildly successful KGF: Chapter 1 and KGF: Chapter 2 films.

 

On Wednesday, Bhuvan took to Twitter and shared a picture from Salaar set. He wrote along with it, “Shoot in progress Salaar”. Reacting to the photo from set, several excited fans wanted an update on the film’s teaser. One user wrote, “Brother, please share when we can expect the teaser (sic).” Another Twitter user wrote, “Looks like lot of night shoot is happening. Please release the teaser soon (sic).

Shruti Haasan and Prabhas will be seen onscreen together for the first time in Salaar. The movie, which is expected to be an action saga, stars Prabhas as Salaar, the main character. Fans couldn’t contain their enthusiasm when a leaked still from the sets, in which Prabhas can be seen lighting a cigarette, went popular on social media in April.

Anil Thadani will present Salaar, which will be subtitled and distributed in Hindi. On Twitter in August of last year, Prashanth announced that Salaar would be released in theatres all around the world on September 28, 2023. A poster was used to announce the release date. The team received praise from the public for publicising the release date a year in advance.

Prabhas is depicted standing with two swords in the poster. In the distance are visible dead bodies. Prithviraj Sukumaran and Sriya Reddy, who was most recently seen in Prime Video’s Suzhal, are also confirmed to be a part of the film by Prashanth’s tweet. About 30% of the Salaar shot has already been done, Neel said during last year’s KGF: Chapter 2 promotional events.

In addition, Prabhas is occupied with the filming of his upcoming, multilingual movie Project K under the direction of Nag Ashwin. With this film, Deepika Padukone makes her Telugu debut, and Vyjayanthi Films is funding it. Amitabh Bachchan plays a significant role in the movie as well.
