Salman Khan's 'Sikandar' locks final date for theatrical release

Salman Khan’s hotly anticipated Eid release Sikandar finally gets a new release date.

The superstar’s maiden collaboration with Rashmika Mandanna and filmmaker AR Murugadoss is the most buzzed film of the season, which is slated for release this Eid-ul-Fitr.

Besides Eid 2025, no official release dates have been announced by the makers yet.

Amid all the hype, an Indian Entertainment outlet has  learnt that the makers have finalized the unconventional Sunday release date, March 30 for Sikandar.

An insider revealed to the publication, "Sikandar’s release date has been locked. It’ll arrive in cinemas on Sunday, March 30."

"The makers are confident that it’s the correct day for release. Sunday will be a big holiday, more so in Maharashtra as Gudi Padwa falls on that day," the source adds.

Further elaborating, "Meanwhile, Ramzan Eid will be celebrated on Monday, March 31. There’ll be a post-Eid holiday effect on Tuesday, April 1 and Wednesday, April 2 in many centres as well."

Another source went on to explain, "The collections will again see a jump from Friday, April 4. Hence, until Sunday, April 6, the film’s collections will remain very strong."

To note, AR Murugadoss’ star-studded actioner is backed by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
