'Baahubali' star Sathyaraj and 'Chhichhore' actor Prateik Babbar have boarded the cast of 'Sikandar', starring Salman Khan, the makers said on Thursday. Directed by A R Murugadoss, the upcoming movie is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala's banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Also starring Rashmika Mandanna, the film is set to be released in theatres on Eid 2025.
The production house shared the casting announcement of Sathyaraj and Prateik on its official X page. "We're elated to welcome you on board #Sathyaraj sir! Honoured to have you in team #Sikandar. Happy to collaborate with our very own @prateikbabbar once again! "And we can't wait for everyone to experience this cinematic excellence on the big screens! #SajidNadiadwala’s #Sikandar Directed by @ARMurugadoss Releasing in cinemas EID 2025 @BeingSalmanKhan @iamRashmika @WardaNadiadwala #SikandarEid2025," the post read. While details related to their roles have been kept under wraps, a report earlier suggested that Sathyaraj will be seen as the main antagonist in the film.
The shoot of 'Sikandar' began on June 19. Later, the makers also dropped the actor's first look from the film, with the caption, "Lights, camera, action...'. Salman also dropped a new still on Instagram recently, which fans believe is from the sets of his next. "Green zone," the superstar simply captioned the picture.
Salman Khan announced the film in March on the occasion of Eid. The forthcoming film will see Salman reunite with Nadiadwala after their 2014 Eid Blockbuster, ‘Kick’, while Khan and Rashmika will feature together for the first time. The action entertainer has locked an Eid 2025 weekend release.
