While adaptations and remakes have become a norm in Indian cinema, Salman Khan’s upcoming film Sikandar stands as a refreshing and bold testament to originality. Going by the teaser, it is a film that offers something entirely new to the audience, with every scene, and every frame carefully crafted to bring an entirely fresh experience to the big screen. After rumours were rife that the film is a remake of Vijay’s Sarkar and inspired by Prabhas’ Salaar, AR Murugadoss has now cleared the air. 

Sikandar is not a remake 

Quashing rumours about Sikandar being a remake, AR Murugadoss set the record straight and said in a statement, "This is a completely original story. Every scene, every frame of Sikandar has been designed and executed with authenticity, offering a fresh narrative and experience. It’s not a remake or adaptation of any existing film An essential part of the film`s originality is its stunning background score, crafted by the immensely talented Santosh Narayanan. His music perfectly complements the film’s energetic tone and vibrant visuals, adding an emotional depth that enhances every scene.”
