What Murugadoss said about Sikandar

AR Murugadoss opened up about his film Sikandar and Ghajini.

During the interaction, Murugadoss compared Ghajini with Sikandar and said, “This is not only a mass film; it has strong family emotions. Ghajini was about a boyfriend-girlfriend 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 the 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.”

‘Initially people thought Ghajini was…’

He also added, “It is a mass film with a strong emotional foundation, just like Ghajini. Initially, people thought Ghajini was just an action thriller, but the love story became its emotional core. Similarly, Sikandar has that surprise element- an intense, husband-wife story at its heart.”
