Salman Khan has wrapped shooting for his upcoming actioner Sikandar. The AR Murugadoss directorial was filmed over a 90-day period in Mumbai, Hyderabad and other locations. The actor recently completed the final leg of shoot in Mumbai along with co-star Rashmika Mandanna.
Sources close to the production revealed, "It was a patch-work sequence between Salman and Rashmika in Bandra, and the team finished the shoot around 8.30 pm. Right after the shoot, Salman cleaned his beard, which he had been keeping for his look in Sikandar. In real life, Salman always prefers a clean-shaven look."
Throughout the production, the team shot four songs, including three dance numbers, and five action sequences. "Sikandar is designed for the big screen, with typical Murugadoss elements like romance, politics, drama, and revenge incorporated into the script to complement the big action blocks. The makers are now focused on post-production, adding finishing touches to the final product to prepare it for the Eid 2025 weekend," the source added.
Although the principal shooting for the film wrapped up in January, Salman, Rashmika, and the team filmed some patch-work scenes and a promotional song in February and March. "The edit is locked, and work is progressing on colour grading, VFX, and background. The final prints of Sikandar will be completed in the next five days, marking the start of the countdown for the theatrical release," the source concluded.
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar will be released in theatres on Eid this year.
