Mumbai, March 21, 2025 – Salman Khan’s highly anticipated Eid release ‘Sikandar’ has already started creating global ripples. Even before its trailer hits the screens, the overseas advance booking for the film has officially begun, signaling a massive international buzz ahead of its March 30, 2025 release.
While Indian fans eagerly await the trailer and domestic booking window, audiences in countries like UAE, USA, UK, Canada, and Australia are already securing their seats for this action-packed entertainer. The film is set to premiere internationally on March 29, a day before its global release.
International Strategy: Hype Before the Trailer
Opening overseas bookings ahead of trailer release is a growing trend in global markets, particularly for big-ticket Indian films. Previously, Prabhas’ ‘Salaar: Part 1’ also followed a similar model. For ‘Sikandar,’ producers are aiming for maximum impact by aligning the film’s promotional activities with Salman Khan’s larger-than-life image.
Sources close to the production reveal that the trailer launch will be a mega event, possibly featuring live interactions, fan contests, and special celebrity appearances.
Power-Packed Cast & Crew
Directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, ‘Sikandar’ boasts a star-studded cast:
- Salman Khan
- Rashmika Mandanna
- Kajal Agarwal
- Sharman Joshi
The music is composed by Pritam, with songs like ‘Bum Bum Bhole’ and ‘Zohra Jabeen’ already dominating music charts and streaming platforms.
Expectations Sky-High for Eid Release
‘Sikandar’ marks Salman’s return to Eid releases after a one-year break. His last major release, ‘Tiger 3’, opened on a Sunday during Diwali but didn’t meet trade expectations. This time, with ‘Sikandar’ also releasing on a Sunday (March 30), the industry is watching closely.
Insiders reveal that private screenings held for friends and family have received overwhelmingly positive reactions, boosting confidence within the trade circle.
Domestic Fans Await Trailer and Booking Details
While global audiences begin their countdown, Indian fans are still awaiting the trailer drop and advance booking launch. The first-look posters and music have already sparked enthusiasm, and with Salman Khan leading a high-octane action drama, expectations are sky-high for one of the biggest box office releases of 2025.
