A Grand Gesture on Salman Khan's Birthday
Kuldeep’s admiration for Bhai Jaan extends beyond movies. On Salman Khan’s 59th birthday (December 27, 2024), he went all out by distributing ₹6.35 lakh worth of 'Being Human' merchandise to those in need. His unwavering devotion proves why Salman Khan fans are one of the most passionate fandoms in India.
'Sikandar' Release and Box Office Performance
'Sikandar', directed by A.R. Murugadoss, released on Eid 2025, featuring Rashmika Mandanna, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Anjini Dhawan, and Kajal Aggarwal in key roles. However, the film has had a slow start at the box office. Despite Salman’s millions of fans, industry expectations remain high for a potential box office comeback.
'Sikandar' Review: Salman Khan's Performance Underwhelms
As per our in-house review: “Salman’s performance lacks depth. He doesn’t exude the powerful aura of a king, neither in looks nor attitude. At times, he seems lazy on screen, almost as if he's doing the audience a favor by acting. The action sequences are mediocre—Salman has delivered much better performances in the past. While some may argue that he is 60 years old, he is still romancing a heroine half his age, and audiences are paying to watch him on the big screen.”
