Filmmaker AR Murugadoss recently opened up about the challenging shooting process of his upcoming film Sikandar, starring Salman Khan. Due to death threats against the Bollywood superstar, the production faced intense security measures, adding to the complexity of filming.

Sikandar: A.R. Murugadoss reveals shooting with Salman Khan amidst security threats; says, “Our biological cycles were disrupted, but once we adapted, it became a routine”

Speaking about the experience, Murugadoss shared, “Salman sir is completely different. The scale of Sikandar was massive, with scenes often involving 10,000 to 20,000 people on set. Managing such large crowds required high security and intense coordination. Our schedule was demanding, and the looming threat made it even more hectic.”

The director further revealed that security protocols were significantly heightened following the threats. “Post that, security was tightened, and checking all extra artistes on set took 2-3 hours daily. Their entries and exits consumed most of our time, often delaying our shoots until the early hours of the morning. Our biological cycles were disrupted, but once we adapted, it became a routine. Despite the challenges, the set maintained a very positive energy,” he added.

Salman Khan has been under constant security threats, leading to heightened protection around him. On November 5, 2024, Mumbai Police received a threatening message allegedly from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, demanding that Khan either apologize at their community temple or pay Rs. 5 crore for his safety. Failure to comply, the message warned, would result in his assassination. The situation escalated further in April 2024, when two assailants opened fire outside Khan’s residence in Bandra West. Authorities have been actively investigating these threats to ensure the actor’s safety.

Sikandar, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Alongside Salman Khan, the film features Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, and Prateik Babbar Patil in pivotal roles. The high-octane action drama is slated for release on March 30, 2025.
