The brief but dramatic teaser sees Salman warning the troublemakers that he’s the last person they should mess with, ending with him inviting fans to watch the film on Netflix.
But while the film itself has received mixed reactions, fans are all praise for Salman’s energy in the Netflix video. “Salman’s energy here gives old Salman vibes. Good to see him back,” wrote one fan. Another quipped, “Did more acting in this ad for Netflix than the whole film. Just Salman things,” echoed by several users on Reddit and YouTube.

The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna. In its official review, Hindustan Times noted that while Salman’s action flair is present, the film’s music and dialogues fall short of his past hits, with only the background score shining in select action scenes.
Netflix teased viewers with the caption: “Aap Sikandar ko dhundh rahe hain, aur Sikandar aapke ghar mein intezaar kar raha hai. Watch Sikandar, starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, out now on Netflix!”
