Salman Khan’s latest film, Sikandar, is raking it in at the box office. Despite getting panned by critics and audiences, the movie has grossed Rs 74.5 crore in just three days. That’s a staggering number, and it’s all thanks to Salman’s star power and devoted fan base. If things keep going this way, Sikandar could become Salman’s 18th film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark.
People are talking about the lack of support from Bollywood for Sikandar. Even Salman’s friends in the industry seem to be keeping quiet. In a recent interview, Salman brought up the topic of industry support. The host pointed out that the Hindi film industry has been pretty silent about Sikandar. Salman often promotes his friends’ films, but this time, things seem different.
Salman said, “He would feel that I do not need.” But then he added, “But everyone needs.” It’s clear he’s talking about the importance of having a strong support system in the industry.
Salman did give a shoutout to some upcoming and recently released films. He praised Sunny Deol’s Jat, which is set to hit theaters on April 10. He also mentioned the Malayalam film L2: Empuran, starring Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran, which released just two days before Sikandar and is already breaking records.
What’s interesting is that Sunny Deol is the only person who publicly promoted Sikandar. He even shared a post on social media to show his support for Salman. Aamir Khan also made a promotional video with Salman and the film’s director, AR Murugadoss, but overall, the industry seems to be lacking in support for Salman’s film.
Salman’s Take on Industry Support
It’s not every day that Salman talks openly about the industry’s support. His comments have sparked a lot of interest, and people are eager to know more about what he thinks.
Upcoming Films
Some other films that are making waves include:
- Jaat, starring Sunny Deol, releasing on April 10
- L2: Empuraan, a Malayalam film starring Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran
It’s worth noting that even with the lack of industry support, Sikandar is still doing remarkably well at the box office. Will it be enough to take the film to the Rs 100 crore mark? Only time will tell.
