Just a few days ahead of its release during Eid, Salman Khan's film Sikandar has received the green light from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However, they did recommend a significant alteration. This suggestion pertains to the repeated use of the term "Home Minister" in the film. Additionally, details about Sikandar's censor certificate and its runtime have been disclosed.

Here’s all the info you need to get started...

Sikandar had the term Home Minister removed

The term "Home" linked to the Home Minister has been removed from Sikandar, as reported by Bollywood Hungama. Additionally, visuals of political party hoardings were also obscured in the film.

Sikandar diploma

Sikandar has been officially rated U/A. The film's action and violence sequences are still uncensored.

Sikandar duration

The censor certificate states that Sikandar has a runtime of 2 hours, 30 minutes, and 8 seconds. However, the final cut of the film could be shorter, clocking in at 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 46 seconds. It’s possible that we’ll end up watching the edited version, which is just a bit over 2 hours long.

Sikandar Overview

Sikandar, featuring Salman Khan's first-ever team-up with AR Murugadoss and Rashmika Mandanna, is set to hit theaters on a Sunday instead of the typical Friday. This change is due to Eid being on a Monday (March 31). The film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, also includes Kajal Aggarwal in an important role.

What makes Sikandar significant for Salman Khan?

Sikandar has the potential to be Salman Khan's first solo hit since the pandemic. While his last film, Tiger 3, did surpass the Rs. 200 crore milestone at the box office, it was produced with a hefty budget of Rs. 300 crore. With Sikandar also being a high-budget project and a major success that Khan is counting on, there's a lot at stake. The decision to launch it on a Sunday instead of the usual Friday is a bold move, but it could also turn out to be a revolutionary strategy.

Salman Khan's last Eid movie is now available on OTTplay Premium

Before Sikandar, Salman Khan's major Eid release was Farhad Samjhi's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. You can now stream this film on Zee5 through OTTplay Premium.
