Salman Khan’s Heartfelt Decision: Choosing Reverence Over Celebration on His Birthday Amid National Mourning – The Untold Story Behind Sikandar’s Teaser Delay
On the evening of December 26, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan revealed an exhilarating poster for his eagerly anticipated film, Sikandar, and announced that its teaser would premiere the next day, December 27, which coincided with his birthday. Excitement buzzed among fans, eagerly anticipating the 11:07 am digital release. However, the unexpected passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister of India, on December 27 led the Sikandar team to postpone the teaser unveiling by 24 hours out of respect, a decision met with mixed reactions from fans but praised by industry peers.
An insider revealed to Bollywood Hungama that Salman Khan was filming for Bigg Boss 18 when he learned of the unfortunate news. In a conversation with producer Sajid Nadiadwala, both agreed that launching the teaser amidst national mourning would be inappropriate. Another industry source noted the significance of December 27 for Salman’s fans, who saw it as a double celebration of his birthday and the teaser release. However, Salman’s reputation as a compassionate figure shone through, prioritizing respect over festivities. Sajid Nadiadwala shared the same sentiments, expressing hope that fans would soon enjoy the teaser and overlook the brief delay.
Directed by A R Murugadoss, famed for Ghajini (2008), Sikandar also features popular actress Rashmika Mandanna and is slated for an Eid 2025 release. Despite the initial disappointment, the buzz surrounding the film indicates that fans are in for a treat once the teaser finally drops.
