Salman Khan’s fans are counting down the days for Sikandar, and the latest news about its villain has brought excitement to a new high. The movie, which is being directed by A.R. Murugadoss, has in store for fans a spine-chilling face-off between Salman Khan and South Indian actor S.J. Suryah, who will play the lead villain.
Since the announcement of the film, there was much speculation regarding who would play the role of the villain. Now, it has been established that S.J. Suryah, who has played roles in Game Changer and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, will be going head-to-head with Salman Khan in Sikandar. It is said that his character will be even more dangerous than Wanted’s Gani Bhai and Dabangg’s Chhedi Singh.
Hints From the Past
The first look of Sikandar was unveiled on December 28, 2024, with Salman Khan in a fierce avatar. On the same day, S.J. Suryah posted a message on social media site X (formerly Twitter), indicating that he was a part of the film. In his message, he said, “See you all in theaters this Eid,” along with the first look of Sikandar. At the time, the post did not garner much interest, but today it is obvious that he will be the main villain in the movie.
A Power-Packed Showdown Awaits
With S.J. Suryah joining, Sikandar has also earned a strong South Indian connect, further increasing the curiosity. The movie, which was canned in Mumbai and Hyderabad for 90 days, boasts four songs and five high-octane action ones. A.R. Murugadoss, who is famous for his riveting narratives, has also hinted at a surprise factor in the film.
The confrontation between Salman Khan and S.J. Suryah will be one of the most prominent highlights of Sikandar. Everyone is waiting to witness how this dominant villain takes on Salman Khan in front of the camera.
Sikandar is releasing on March 30, 2025, in synchronization with the Eid celebrations. Since the trailer will release at the opening ceremony of IPL 2025, anticipation for the movie keeps on rising.
