Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ vs. Mohanlal’s ‘L2: Empuraan’ – The Big Clash

‘Sikandar’ is set to clash with Mohanlal’s ‘L2: Empuraan’ at the box office. However, Salman’s film is expected to dominate the Hindi-speaking belt, owing to his strong fan following and wider reach in Bollywood.

Speaking about the competition, Salman Khan expressed admiration for Mohanlal and director Prithviraj Sukumaran, stating:
"I love Mohanlal sir as an actor. Prithviraj is directing it, and I know it’s going to be an excellent film."

Salman Khan on South vs. Bollywood Films

In a recent press interaction, Salman Khan addressed the growing influence of South Indian cinema in the Hindi belt, while also commenting on the lack of Bollywood films’ success in the South. He said:

"When my film is released there, it won’t get the numbers because their fan following is very strong. I'll be on the street, and they will say, 'Bhai, Bhai,' but they won’t go to the theatres. We have accepted them as South Stars here, and their films perform well because we go and watch them—whether it's Rajinikanth garu, Chiranjeevi garu, Suriya, or Ram Charan. But their fans don’t watch our films in return."

‘Sikandar’ Creating Buzz Internationally

The film is also witnessing an unprecedented response overseas. Tickets sold out within hours in several foreign countries, with ticket prices ranging from ₹700 to ₹2,100 abroad.

‘Sikandar’ Star Cast & Expectations

Apart from Salman Khan, ‘Sikandar’ boasts a stellar cast, including Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, and others. With power-packed action sequences, a gripping storyline, and high production value, the film is expected to set the box office on fire.

With massive advance bookings, strong promotional buzz, and a holiday release advantage, ‘Sikandar’ is well-positioned to become one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters of 2025. All eyes are now on the Eid release to see if the film can break box office records and live up to the hype.
