Every day, fans discover something intriguing and new about Sikandar. According to recent reports, only the leading actors, Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, have access to the entire script of AR Murugadoss' film to prevent leaks before its release. Conversely, the supporting cast, which includes Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Anant Mahadevan, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Nawab Shah, and Anjini Dhawan, received very little information.
Non-disclosure agreements for supporting cast
An insider confirmed to Mid Day that they have asked the supporting actors to sign a non-disclosure agreement, further solidifying the situation. Only a few days before the filming leg starts are they informed of their scenes. The producers are trying to keep the plot and script under wraps because they value secrecy. The source assured the tabloid that they will reveal every detail at the appropriate moment, and fans will discover the identities of the characters when the first trailer releases.
It appears that Murugadoss and producer Sajid Nadiadwala are taking the necessary precautions at a time when sneak peeks at filming locations are making the rounds online. It is not true that the film is an adaptation of Murugadoss's Tamil movie, Sarkar [2018]. If people mistakenly believe that this movie is a remake, they might start creating comparison videos on YouTube, potentially leading to unjustified criticism. According to the producers, they wrote the screenplay, and this story is completely original.
Streamlined shooting and dubbing process
Considering the diverse range of performers featured in the film, the producers are also making efforts to maintain a regimented shooting schedule for the crew. The methodical approach ensures that no one needs to reshoot any scene. The dubbing process is also proceeding according to this pattern; actors finish dubbing scenes as soon as they film them. Once the last schedule in Mumbai concludes, we will shoot crucial scenes involving Salman and the adversaries in February.
The Eid 2025 weekend will see Sikandar on the big screen.
