Directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar marks Salman’s return to Eid releases. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal, and is being touted as an action-packed entertainer in the vein of Ghajini and Kick.
Meanwhile, Empuraan director Prithviraj Sukumaran also addressed the box office clash at a press event in Delhi. “Salman Khan is one of the biggest stars in the country, and there is no competition between the two movies. I hope it becomes a blockbuster,” he said.
Adding with a smile, “I will have no complaints if you watch L2: Empuraan at 11 a.m. and Sikandar at 1 p.m.”
L2: Empuraan, the sequel to 2019’s Lucifer, stars Mohanlal, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, and Abhimanyu Singh, and is one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest releases of the year.
