With only three weeks to go until the anticipated release of Salman Khan’s Sikandar, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of its launch date. While an official announcement is still pending, rumors suggest that this action thriller will hit theaters on March 30, 2025. Excitingly, the film has already made significant financial strides, reportedly recovering a substantial portion of its budget through pre-release business. Read on for the latest box office updates!
What is the budget for Sikandar?
Multiple online sources indicate that Sikandar is produced on an estimated budget of 200 crores. This is a strategic move, especially considering that some of Salman Khan’s recent films have struggled at the box office, leading to financial losses despite their high production costs. For instance, Tiger 3, his last release, earned 286 crores but was still deemed a losing venture due to its staggering investment of 300 crores.Has Sikandar recovered a significant portion of its budget? According to reports, AR Murugadoss’s direction has already generated 165 crores from pre-release business alone.
Notably, Netflix has acquired the digital rights for 85 crores, with potential earnings reaching 100 crores if the film surpasses 350 crores at the box office. Additionally, Zee has secured the satellite rights for 50 crores, while the music rights have been sold for 30 crores.This means Sikandar has already recovered approximately 82% of its budget, leaving it needing only 35 crores to reach the breakeven point—an amount that is likely to be surpassed on opening day.
