Salman Khan is one of the Bollywood actors frequently recognized for his philanthropic efforts. Throughout his career, he has intentionally chosen roles that portray his character as a force for social good. Whether embodying the heroic Robinhood in Dabangg, showcasing deep emotions in Jai Ho!, or portraying Sikandar in AR Murugadoss' latest film, the actor has now addressed whether the character's inspiration draws from his real-life persona.

Here's what he said...

Is Sikandar inspired by Salman Khan?

When questioned about the film, Salman promptly informed India TV that the narrative of Sikandar is quite unique. He noted that the screenplay was written by AR Murugadoss, who presented the story to Sajid Nadiadwala. Sajid then engaged in discussions about the script with Salman. "This is how I became aware of the film and its storyline. I am very fond of the script, and when Sajid inquired about the timeline for production, I responded that it could happen whenever Murugadoss is ready," Khan reminisced.

Salman Khan's Sikandar not a gift for Eid

Salman Khan's upcoming film is not a present for his fans; instead, he anticipates that they will show their appreciation by attending the movie in theaters tomorrow, Sunday, March 30.

Salman Khan expects Sikandar to earn Rs. 200 crore vs. the reality

Salman Khan has set a target of Rs. 200 crore for Sikandar, but the actual situation is quite different. As of day one, the film has only managed to secure over Rs. 10 crore in advance ticket sales. Given the current circumstances, it seems unlikely that Sikandar will reach the Rs. 100 crore mark on its opening day. Although Monday coincides with Eid, not all businesses will be closed for the holiday, which could significantly impact the film's earnings over the weekend. The success of Sikandar now hinges on its opening day performance. If it manages to earn slightly more than Rs. 50 crore, there is potential for recovery through positive word-of-mouth. However, numerous factors will ultimately determine whether Sikandar can achieve the Rs. 200 crore milestone at the Box Office.

This is your final opportunity to view Salman Khan's previous Eid release, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, before Sikandar premieres in theaters tomorrow. So, what are you waiting for?
