Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Sikandar (2025)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- After Sikandar flopped, director A. R. Murugadoss blamed Salman Khan's late arrival on set for the failure, and Khan hit back that he had a rib injury while sarcastically mocking the poor box office of Murugadoss's other film Madharaasi.
- Filming was halted after Salman Khan received death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi and a shooting was reported near Khan's home, and principal photography only resumed in November once on-set security was increased.
- Salman Khan sustained a rib injury during filming in September 2024; work resumed that month with a song featuring Khan, Rashmika Mandanna and 200 background dancers, then stopped again because of heavy rains across Mumbai.
- A. R. Murugadoss had initially pitched the lead role of Ghajini (2008) to Salman Khan before the two made Sikandar, for which producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Murugadoss recruited Khan.
- Sets worth ₹15 crore were created to resemble Dharavi and Matunga for Sikandar's action sequences, which were shot over 40 days across Mumbai.
