Bollywood’s beloved superstar Salman Khan has once again caught everyone’s attention, this time by announcing the Netflix release of his high-octane film Sikandar in a unique and signature style. True to his larger-than-life persona, Salman made the announcement through an action-packed promotional video instead of a traditional press release.

In the video, Salman is seen standing inside an elevator, casually humming while accompanied by his assistant. Suddenly, a gang of thugs enters, but within seconds, Khan takes them down with his classic action moves. As the elevator doors open, he exits and delivers the punchline: “Sikandar now streaming on Netflix.” This gripping video perfectly sets the tone for the film’s intense and action-filled storyline.

Directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar initially hit theatres on March 30, 2025, aligning with the Eid festivities. The film stars Salman Khan in the lead role as Sanjay “Sikandar” Rajkot, a mysterious character on a quest for redemption. The plot revolves around his efforts to transform the lives of three people while facing off against a ruthless political adversary.

Sikandar brings together a talented ensemble, each playing a pivotal role in the storyline — with standout performances by Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, Kajal Aggarwal, and Rashmika Mandanna. With a hefty budget of ₹200 crore, Sikandar was one of the most anticipated releases of the year. However, despite high expectations, the film received mixed reviews. Critics cited weak storytelling and direction as drawbacks, with some saying the film failed to match the evolving standards of Indian cinema.

At the box office, Sikandar managed to collect ₹184.6 crore globally, including ₹130.6 crore from the domestic market — falling slightly short of expectations.

Now streaming on Netflix (as of May 25, 2025), Sikandar is ready to reach a wider audience through the OTT platform. Whether you're a Salman Khan fan or a lover of action thrillers, this movie offers an adrenaline-pumping experience that's just a click away. Don’t miss it!
