Salman khan’s ‘Sikandar’ flopped: Language became the villain!

Murgadas revealed the secrets of Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ flopping, the lack of language and cultural connection was the reason

Big stars, big budget, still no blast

Salman Khan‘s film ‘Sikander‘, released on Eid 2025, failed to make a splash at the box office.

Bhaijaan’s fans were disappointed and the film flopped badly.

Now director AR Murgadoss has spoken openly about the reasons behind this flop show!

Language became a mountain of trouble

According to Murgadoss, “When we make a film in our mother tongue, we know our strength.

But working in another language is a completely different game!”

He said that while working in Hindi, he felt as if his hands were tied.

He further explains, “The script was first translated into English and then into Hindi. The magic of the story was lost somewhere in this process.”

Difficult to catch the pulse of the young generation

“Nowadays trends change so fast that while working in another language, it is not understood what the youngsters are liking,” Murgadoss said.

According to him, when you make a film in a new language and culture, you are out of your comfort zone.

Culture connection is important

“The culture you come from is your real strength,” Murgadoss spoke openly.

He admitted that he can make Telugu films easily, but he faced challenges in Hindi.

Starcast shined, film flopped

The film showed the story of Sanjay Rajkot. Despite the presence of actors like Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar and Sathyaraj, the film failed to win the hearts of the audience.

What did you learn?

Murgadass’ experience makes it clear that just having big stars is not enough.

It is very important to balance the language, culture and storytelling of the film.

This film, released on March 30, once again proved that there is no formula for success in Bollywood!

Sometimes even the biggest stars’ films flop, and the reasons behind this are not always visible on the surface.
