Salman Khan’s Fiery Response: South Actor’s Punctuality Can’t Save AR Murugadoss’s Film!
Salman Khan’s War Drama and the “Sikandar” Scandal: A Weekend Revelation
Ah, the inimitable Salman Khan, the megastar whose cinematic journey feels like an epic saga! Currently, he’s caught in the whirlwind of multiple projects, from the eagerly anticipated war drama Battle of Galwan to his latest role as the flamboyant host of Bigg Boss Season 19. But all eyes turned to this weekend’s Weekend Ka Vaar, where the superstar unwrapped a juicy nugget about one of his most recent controversies: the box office flop of Sikandar and director AR Murugadoss’s comments.
Amid the buzz that surrounded Sikandar before its release, it ultimately fell flat, earning the title of Salman’s “weakest film” from critical circles. Yet, the man himself has a different narrative to tell. During the episode, Salman made it clear: he bears no regrets about his role in Sikandar. He expressed pride in its emotional core, standing firm on the belief that the story had depth, even if it didn’t resonate with audiences as hoped.
With his trademark charm, Salman addressed Murugadoss’s pointed criticism about his tardiness on set. “I used to stroll into the set around 9 PM, which apparently stirred the pot,” he jested. “But let’s not forget, my rib was broken!” His subtle jab didn’t just stop there. A wink and a nod led him to refer to Murugadoss’s latest venture, Madharaasi, claiming it was “a bigger blockbuster than Sikandar,” while humorously alluding to a co-star’s punctuality. With Madharaasi raking in an estimated ₹62.82 crore in India alone, it appears the director has managed to strike gold-just not with Salman.
Delving deeper, Salman revealed that Sikandar was initially a collaborative dream between Murugadoss and producer Sajid Nadiadwala until creative differences set in and both stepped back. This behind-the-curtain insight hints at the turmoil that marred the film’s production.
For those unaware, Murugadoss had previously lamented in interviews about the night shoots, claiming they disrupted the film’s flow, especially for younger actors. Despite possessing a strong emotional narrative, he admitted the execution faltered.
Sikandar, with a budget spiral of around ₹200 crore, could only muster ₹185 crore globally-a rare misfire for the Bollywood titan. But Salman’s response, infused with wit and composure, signals he’s moving forward without a trace of bitterness.
Stay tuned, as the saga continues! Reliable and trusted, this is your go-to source for all things fab and scandalous in the film world.
