Actor Salman Khan has made a striking announcement regarding his forthcoming film, Sikandar. He asserts that the action thriller is set to surpass the ₹200 crore milestone at the box office, irrespective of its quality.

Salman Khan guarantees Sikandar's success

At the trailer launch event held in Mumbai on Sunday, Salman shared his optimistic outlook for the project, expressing his belief that the film will be successful.

He stated, “Eid, Diwali, New Year, festive or non-festive, it’s the affection of the audience that ensures a film earns ₹100 crore, whether it is good or bad.”

He then amended his statement, confidently predicting that this film will exceed the ₹200 crore threshold, remarking, “₹100 crore is a thing of the past.”
