Anyone who follows Bollywood even breezily would know Salman Khan's love for the Eid release window. Sikandar is expected to hit movie halls on Eid 2025, which is between March 30–31, 2025. So, March 28 might be the release date for the film. Khan's Eid penchant started way back in 2009 with Wanted, and since then, 11 of his films have been released on Eid. The movies that premiered on Eid are: Dabangg (2010), Bodyguard (2011), Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Kick (2014), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Sultan (2016), Tubelight (2017), Race 3 (2018), Bharat (2019), and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023). Almost all of them performed well at the box office, so hopes are certainly high for Sikandar.
2) Khan's First Film in 2 Years
Salman Khan's last release was Tiger 3 in 2023, which makes Sikandar his first film to get premiered in two years, considering there's no delay. The superstar did make a cameo appearance in Singham Again (2024) as Chulbul Pandey and is slated to make another one in Baby John (2024) as DIG Varadha Rajan IPS, but a full-blown film remains elusive since 2023.

Sajid Nadiadwala-Salman Khan has been a profitable pair having delivered hits like Jeet (1996), Judwaa (1997), Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (2000), Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), and Kick (2014), among others. So, their teaming up after 10 years sure brings a lot of hope to Salman Khan's fans who have been waiting for a blockbuster hit from his stable.

4) AR Murugadoss' Second Film With Salman
AR Murugadoss was launched in Bollywood with the blockbuster Ghajini (2008) and went on to direct three more Hindi films. Jai Ho and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty were released in 2014 while Akira came out in 2016. While Jai Ho and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty were super hits, Akira was damp at the box office. Jai Ho starred Salman Khan in the lead, making Sikandar his second collaboration with Murugadoss.
5) Kajal Aggarwal's Bollywood Comeback Film
Kajal Aggarwal was last seen in a Bollywood film in 2021. Mumbai Saga, which was directed by Sanjay Gupta, had her playing wife to John Abraham's character, Amartya Rao Naik. Emraan Hashmi and Mahesh Manjrekar were also a part of that film. With Sikandar, the award-winning actress makes a comeback to Bollywood after four years.
Sikandar, starring Khan, Mandanna, Aggarwal, Suniel Shetty, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Patil Babbar, is expected to hit theaters on Eid 2025.
