Sikandar Flop: AR Murugadoss Reacts to Salman Khan Film’s Failure with Honesty

Bollywood actor Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna's film 'Sikandar' was released on the special occasion of Eid this year. This film flopped at the box office. Now the film's director AR Murugadoss, has spoken openly about the failure of 'Sikandar'. He said that the film failed due to not being able to understand Hindi.

Producer AR Murugadoss spoke on the failure of Sikandar

In fact, during a conversation, filmmaker AR Murugadoss said, "When we make films in our mother tongue, it gives us strength. We know what is happening here. Nowadays, a trend is going on, and the audience suddenly gets connected to that trend. When we change the language, we do not know what the youth like in that language. We just need a script that we can believe in".

Producer AR Murugadoss said this

Continuing his point, producer AR Murugadoss further said, "For once, I can take Telugu films, but Hindi may not work for us because after writing the script, they translate it into English. Then it is translated into Hindi. We can only guess what they are saying, but we don't know exactly what is happening. When you make a film in an unknown language and place, it is like you are handicapped. It is like you have no hands. I strongly believe that our strength depends on where we are and which culture we belong to."

'Sikander' was released on March 30 

'Sikander' is the story of a man named Sanjay Rajkot, who turns his life upside down by fighting a corrupt politician. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the action drama also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj in pivotal roles. With this film, Salman returned to the big screen for the first time since 2023, but failed to do much wonder at the box office. Sikandar is Salman's first Eid release in two years. Sikandar was released in theatres on March 30. Despite criticism for direction and acting, the film managed to cross the ₹100 crore mark at the box office and eventually collected over ₹200 crore worldwide.
