Salman Khan back on big screen
Salman has returned to the big screen for the first time since 2023 with Sikandar, which AR Murugadoss directs. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, and Sharman Joshi in pivotal roles. Sikandar is Salman's first Eid release in two years. Sikandar was released in theatres on Sunday, March 30.
According to Sacnilk.com, Sikandar earned ₹26 crore on its opening day. This opening figure failed to break records. It also lags behind Vicky Kaushal-starrer Chhaava, which collected ₹ 31 crore on its opening day. Worldwide, the film has opened at ₹54 crore, which is one of the actor's lowest openings in years.
