Trade analyst confirms Sikandar was leaked online

Confirming that the film was leaked online, film trade analyst Komal Nahta posted on X, "It’s the worst nightmare for any producer. A film being leaked before its theatrical release. Unfortunately, that’s what happened last evening to Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Sikandar’, slated to release today in cinemas."

Komal Nahta added how disappointed Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment was with this development. He added that the producer urged authorities to act on the leak and the film was pulled down from hundreds of websites. They pulled the film down from atleast 600 websites but it kept on multiplying even after the authorities took over. He wrote,  "The producer had the authorities pull the film down from 600 sites last night but the harm had been done. The multiplication continued and is still continuing. Condemnable act which could cost the producer of the Salman starrer dear.”
