‘Sikandar’ to Hit Theaters on March 30: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s highly anticipated film Sikandar has finally locked its release date. While most big films release on Fridays, Sikandar will make a Sunday debut on March 30, 2025.
According to Bollywood Hungama, industry sources have confirmed that March 30 was chosen because of Gudi Padwa, a significant festival in Maharashtra. The holiday boost is expected to give the film a strong opening weekend.
Eid Weekend Box Office Strategy
The release strategy for Sikandar seems well-planned. With Eid on March 31, followed by extended celebrations in some regions until April 2, the film is likely to perform exceptionally well in its opening week. Moreover, by the time Friday, April 4 arrives, Sikandar is expected to gain even more traction at the box office, ensuring a long and successful theatrical run.
‘Sikandar’ and Its Connection to ‘Tiger 3’
Interestingly, Salman Khan’s last blockbuster, ‘Tiger 3’, also released on a Sunday (November 12, 2023, on Diwali) and benefited immensely from the festive holiday. Now, the makers of Sikandar seem to be following the same pattern, hoping for similar success.
While there has been no official confirmation from the production team yet, sources suggest that an announcement is expected soon.
When Will ‘Sikandar’ Trailer Release?
The film’s teaser and three songs have already been released, but fans are eagerly waiting for the trailer. Speculations suggest that the official trailer could drop by the end of this week, followed by the opening of advance bookings.
Directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar boasts an ensemble cast including Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi.
With excitement soaring high, Sikandar is set to be one of 2025’s biggest releases.
