A.R. Murugadoss Reflects on the Serendipitous Meeting That Inspired ‘Sikandar’ Starring Salman Khan

Published

on

Acclaimed director A.R. Murugadoss, known for blockbuster films like ‘Ghajini’ and ‘Holiday’, is gearing up to unveil his next action-packed project, ‘Sikandar’. What makes this movie particularly exciting is that it marks his first collaboration with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan!

During the grand launch of the trailer, Murugadoss shared an intriguing story about his long-standing desire to work with Salman, tracing back to a serendipitous encounter in Chennai before he rose to prominence as a director.

Reflecting on his early career as an assistant director, he recalled a time when he snuck into a film set at Prasad Studios. “I was struggling to find my footing in the industry, trying to absorb as much as I could. I managed to convince the security guard to allow me to stay for just 20 minutes—but I had to remain silent and still,” he recounted.

His experience on that day left a profound impact. “The air was filled with smoke, the lights were dazzling, and then I caught sight of Sridevi! I was speechless. A moment later, I spotted a figure with his back to me, casually fixing his hair. I moved in for a closer look—and it was Salman Khan! In that instant, I promised myself, ‘Someday, I will direct a film with him.’”

Now, years later, that aspiration has become reality with ‘Sikandar’, scheduled for release on March 30, 2025.

Having previously collaborated with Aamir Khan in ‘Ghajini’ and now Salman in ‘Sikandar’, Murugadoss mentioned that the only Khan left on his list is Shah Rukh Khan. When probed about this, he expressed, “Absolutely, after completing my next Tamil film, I definitely want to work with him.”
