Piracy attack! Salman Khan's Sikandar leaked hours before release, pulled down from 600 websites
Sikandar is Salman Khan's weakest film in the recent past
Sikandar is directed by Ghajini director AR Murugadoss. The Salman Khan starrer is an action-thriller which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar in key roles.
In WION’s review, Sikandar is “made to glorify Salman Khan. And while he flexes his muscles and takes on goons double his size through the film, the actor looks tired. Khan, who was reportedly nursing a rib injury during the making of the film, seems to have aged. Khan is no longer in top form - his dancing, his stunts seem to have been designed keeping in mind the actor's age and injuries, and yet he is unable to do justice to the task in hand.” Sikandar review: Salman Khan's latest Eid offering puts you to sleep
