Is Sikandar just another South remake? That was the question when Salman and A.R. Murugadoss came together. Many thought it was a remake of Thalapathy Vijay’s Sarkar.
But now it’s confirmed Sikandar is not a remake. Good news? Not really. What’s worse than a remake? An outdated script from the archives.

Reports say Sikandar is based on a script Murugadoss wrote years ago but never used. Instead of a fresh concept, Salman is working with something that was shelved long back.
People on social media are already asking if this script was so good, why wasn’t it made earlier?

Writers Rajat Arora, Abbas Dalal, and Hussain Dalal have tried to update it, but can they really modernize something that was never considered worth making before?
The film has all the ingredients of a mass entertainer Salman, action, and an Eid release. But is that enough? Audiences today want fresh storytelling not just star power.

People on social media are saying that Murugadoss’s last few films (Darbar, Spyder) were outdated and lacked impact.
If Sikandar follows the same pattern, it will struggle. Is Bollywood once again repeating the mistake of relying on stale stories?
Salman hasn’t had an Eid blockbuster in years. His last few Eid films (Radhe, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan) flopped.
Fans are hoping Sikandar changes that but the teaser itself didn’t create much buzz.
People on social media feel Salman is stuck in the past, choosing films that don’t match the changing audience preferences.
If Sikandar turns out to be another outdated action drama will it hurt his superstardom?
Despite all the concerns there’s still a chance Sikandar might deliver. Murugadoss at his best has given Bollywood hits like Ghajini and Holiday.
If he has reworked the story well Sikandar will silence the critics. Will it be Salman’s big comeback or another Eid letdown?
