Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Sikandar is one of the most awaited films of 2025. Fans eagerly wait to get new updates regarding the shooting of the film. Now, a recent report suggests that Salman is set to begin the 45-day shooting schedule in Mumbai today, August 26. Let's dig deep into the details. 

Shooting update of Salman Khan's Sikandar

Pinkvilla reported that Salman Khan is all set to begin a 45-day marathon schedule of Sikandar in Mumbai on August 26. Sources close to the development mentioned that Sajid Nadiadwala and the production team have put together a huge set at a studio in Mumbai. 

“Local parts of Mumbai are re-created at a big studio in Mumbai. It took over 3 months to build the entire set and the makers have spent a bomb to make all the aspects look authentic. This is one of the most important schedules of Sikandar as the team will be shooting for not just action, but also the emotional and dramatic sequences,” revealed a source close to the development.

The source further added that Salman Khan is geared up for the shoot schedule. Apart from action sequences, the film has an ample amount of emotional and dramatic moments in the screenplay.

Bhaijaan is looking forward to the high-octane moments under the direction of AR Murugadoss. Rashmika, Sathyaraj, and Prateik Babbar too will be a part of this schedule. 

What's next after 45-day schedule?

After the Mumbai schedule, the team aims to shoot another schedule at a palace in India, for about 15 to 20 days. 

“The team is in the process of identifying a palace which brings scale and rich production values to the film. The third schedule will take place around November,” the source concluded.

Salman Khan will pay dual role in Sikandar

A Dainik Bhaskar report mentioned that Salman Khan is set to play a dual role in AR Murugadoss' Sikandar. He is a businessman in the film. While his character is shown as a philanthropist and kind-hearted person, he was also a ‘Dabangg’ in the past.
