A.R. Murugadoss reveals, “Like Ghajini, Sikandar too will have a surprise element”

Ahead of this, when asked if 'Sikandar' will have a similar depth compared to Ghajini which also had a strong emotional core apart from action, the director replied, "Yeah, definitely. This is not only a mass film; it has very strong family emotions. Ghajini was about a boyfriend-girlf riend love story, but this is about a husband-wife relationship. It explores how families function today, how couples treat each other, and what we might be missing in our relationships. That will be a highlight of the film. Though Ghajini seemed to be a psycho-thriller to the audience, the love story of Aamir and Asin was the surprise element. Similarly, here there's an element of love which will move the audience."

Further, he shared what makes Sikandar special and said, "It will be a significant film in Salman sir's career. It's not just an Eid entertainer-it has a mix of action, emotion, and mass appeal that will connect with audiences of all backgrounds. We've made a film that everyone, from hardcore Salman fans to family audiences, will enjoy."

The director also expressed, those who loved Salman in films like Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Koun will also like Sikandar. He said, "Yes, exactly! It's a mass film with a strong emotional foundation, just like 'Ghajini'. Initially, people thought Ghajini was just an action film but the love story became its emotional core. Similarly, Sikandar has that surprise element - an intense, relatable husband-wife story at its heart."

Also starring Kajal Aggarwal in a pivotal role, prepare yourself for a cinematic journey this Eid 2025 as Salman Khan makes his highly awaited return to the big screen.
