Sikandar teaser reactions: Internet is confused if Salman Khan film is more like Salaar or Badass Ravikumar

Salman Khan's Sikandar is directed by AR Murugadoss, who is best known for directing Tamil and Hindi films.

Actor Salman Khan dropped the second teaser for his upcoming film Sikandar on Thursday, and it was packed with high-adrenaline action sequences. While many fans and enthusiasts praised the teaser, some social media users were reminded of Prashanth Neel's Prabhas-starrer Salaar, sparking a flurry of comparisons in the virtual world.

Salman Khan released teaser of his film Sikandar on Thursday.

Sikandar vs Salaar

The teaser shows high-octane action sequences with Salman in his signature style. He is seen taking down multiple opponents with ease, throwing punches and kicks in various settings, from outdoors to inside a plane.

One scene in particular has drawn comparisons to Prabhas' Salaar, where Salman Khan is poised to strike with a group of people armed with sharp, sword-like weapons, behind his back.

“Every masterpiece & it's cheap copy #SikandarTeaser #Sikandar,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

One user took to Reddit to share, “Dialogues mundane and that “saaf kardunga (will wipe it all) etc. was more like a badass Ravikumar stye dialogue. Action is bland. Last shot was taken sorta nicely but that gave me salaar vibes”.

“I liked Salaar movie. I don't know if Sikandar's makers tried to recreate this scene of salaar. But tbh salaar movie's this scene is the most illogical scene in the whole movie,” one wrote.

Several social media users were quick to create collages juxtaposing the similar scenes from both films, sparking a debate as they asked their followers: who pulled off the intense moment better - Salman Khan in Sikandar or Prabhas in Salaar?

“Who did this better?,” read one post, with another reading, “Like for #Salaar Retweets for #Sikandar”.

"The Parallels,” one wrote.
