With just days left for the release of Salman Khan’s much-awaited action entertainer Sikandar, fan frenzy has reached new heights. In a viral video, a die-hard fan is seen distributing movie tickets worth a staggering Rs 1.72 lakh.

Not sponsored by Salman

When asked if Salman Khan had sponsored the tickets, the fan denied it and revealed that he had done this before in multiple cities to celebrate the superstar’s films.

The grand gesture coincides with Sikandar’s release during Eid and Gudi Padwa, adding to the festive fervor. Fans are eager to witness Salman Khan’s high-octane action avatar in the AR Murugadoss-directed film, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Prateik Patil, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sathyaraj. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar marks Salman’s reunion with the producer after their 2014 blockbuster Kick.

Salim Khan reviews Sikandar

Amidst the excitement, veteran screenwriter and Salman’s father, Salim Khan, shared his thoughts on the film ahead of its release. Praising Sikandar for its gripping narrative and unpredictability, he stated, "The best part about Sikandar was the ek-ek scene ke baad, will you feel ki 'aage kya hoga?' 'Ab kya karenge?' (After each scene, will you feel 'what will happen next?' 'What will he do now?'). If we could manage to hold the audience's interest to know what will happen next, then it is a win-win situation."



With such a strong endorsement from Salim Khan and an outpouring of fan enthusiasm, Sikandar is poised to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2025.
