Initially planned for release on December 27, Salman Khan’s birthday, it was first postponed to December 28 at 11:07 AM following the passing of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. Later, it was further delayed to 4:05 PM on the same day.

Netizens reacted upon the release of the teaser. “Mass Ka Baap Aa Gya...Love You Bhaiiii,” wrote one social media user. “Salman Bhai + Eid = Box Office Tsunami,” wrote another. “Aag laga di,” came from another.

Production house Nadiadwala Grandson announced the changes on social media, stating that the delay was to allow the nation to honour Dr. Manmohan Singh and thanked fans for their patience.

Directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar is a high-octane action film set to release on Eid 2025. The movie features an ensemble cast, including Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, Kajal Aggarwal and Sharman Joshi.
