The highly anticipated teaser for Salman Khan’s upcoming film Sikandar, initially scheduled to release on December 27 to coincide with the actor’s birthday, has been rescheduled.

Sajid Nadiadwala and Salman Khan: A Reunion After a Decade
Sikandar marks a much-awaited reunion between Salman Khan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, their first collaboration since the blockbuster Kick (2014). Over the years, the duo has delivered several hits, including Judwaa (1997) and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004). Fans are particularly thrilled about this partnership, as Sajid’s vision combined with Salman’s star power has consistently yielded cinematic successes.
The Journey So Far
Salman Khan was last seen on the big screen in the spy-action thriller Tiger 3, where he shared the screen with Katrina Kaif.

What to Expect from Sikandar
Touted as Sajid Nadiadwala’s “most ambitious film to date,” Sikandar is expected to deliver a thrilling cinematic experience, complete with high-octane action sequences, intense storytelling, and a memorable performance by Salman Khan.
