Sikandar teaser
Releasing the teaser on X (formerly Twitter), the film’s producers wrote, “Ab intezaar hua khatam. Here’s presenting a glimpse of the world of Sikandar. A gift to all the fans who have been waiting to see the First Look! Thank you for all the love and patience… See you all in cinemas this EID.”
The 1-minute-41-second long video shows Salman’s Sikandar entering a room filled with weapons and people dressed in samurai armour. However, he seems aware that he has walked into a trap because he says, “Suna hain ki bohot saare log mere peeche pade hain. Bas, meri mudne ki der hain. (I’ve heard a lot of people have it out for me. Just wait for me to turn)”
Fans were thrilled to see Salman in a massy avatar, with one fan commenting, “This is something never seen before.” Another wrote, “Wowww man what a look, they really hit the ball out of the park. Total Mass Mayhem.” One fan even wrote that ‘mass ka baap is here’. Another wrote, “Salman Khan 3.0 is coming and coming big.”
Salman Khan’s birthday
The teaser of Sikandar was initially scheduled for release on Salman’s birthday, December 27. However, the film’s team postponed the release by a day to honour Manmohan Singh. Salman celebrated his birthday in Jamnagar, Gujarat, with his loved ones. The bash hosted by the Ambanis saw his brother Sohail Khan and nephews Nirvaan and Arhaan also in attendance. Salman, who turned 59, also posed for a click with Anant Ambani.
