Salman Khan’s much-anticipated film “Sikandar” is set for release this Eid, but speculation surrounds its official release date. With the buzz building, fans are eager to know whether the film will hit theaters on March 29 or March 30. As the production team, including the talented A.R. Murugadoss, rushes to complete the final touches, including two days of shooting, the excitement and confusion surrounding the film’s release only seem to grow. Despite no official announcement about the release date, international advance bookings have reportedly already begun. Let’s dive deeper into what fans can expect from “Sikandar” and the implications of its release date.
Unraveling the Release Date of “Sikandar”
The filmmakers behind “Sikandar” have hinted at a release on March 30, likely considering the pre-Eid advantage. However, the lack of a formal announcement creates a sense of uncertainty. Though some reports mention that international booking sites list March 30 as the release date, this information could still be subject to change. The situation leads to the question—why has advance booking started if there is no confirmed release date?
Why the Controversy Surrounding “Sikandar”?
Salman Khan is well aware of the pitfalls of releasing a film on a Sunday. He experienced this firsthand with “Tiger 3,” which launched on the same day and faced significant backlash. A Sunday release runs the risk of compromising the film’s opening weekend performance, as weekday box office earnings generally do not match up. Currently, “Sikandar” is not just facing a potential March 30 release, but advance booking options on international sites have also been made available for that date.
Despite these developments, the filmmakers have not officially released any promotional material or confirmed details about the release date. Interestingly, initial discussions indicated a March 29 launch, but confusion remains about whether March 30 is now the definitive date. Could there be behind-the-scenes maneuvers at play?
Anticipations and Expectations for “Sikandar”
Fans have high hopes for “Sikandar,” especially after Salman Khan’s last film, “Tiger 3,” which opened with a box office collection of 41 crores but managed only 140 crores in one week. Given the excitement surrounding “Sikandar,” early predictions suggest it will surpass those figures easily. However, clarity regarding the release date is critical for the marketing strategy of the film. The production team needs to clear up any ambiguity soon—will it be releasing on March 29 or 30?
What Fans Can Look Forward To
With Salman Khan leading the cast alongside Rashmika Mandanna, “Sikandar” is anticipated to be a blockbuster, blending action, drama, and stellar performances. As the situation unfolds, audiences are urged to stay tuned for the latest updates on the release date as well as more promotional material from the filmmakers. The excitement is palpable, and with Eid approaching, “Sikandar” could become one of the biggest films of the season.
