To accommodate both festivals, the makers have reportedly decided to release the movie on Sunday (March 30th), According to a report by Bollywood Hungama.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Sikandar’s release date has been locked. It’ll arrive in cinemas on Sunday, March 30.''
''The makers are confident that it’s the correct day for release. Sunday will be a big holiday, more so in Maharashtra as Gudi Padwa falls on that day. Meanwhile, Ramzan Eid will be celebrated on Monday, March 31. There’ll be a post-Eid holiday effect on Tuesday, April 1 and Wednesday, April 2 in many centres as well. The collections will again see a jump from Friday, April 4. Hence, until Sunday, April 6, the film’s collections will remain very strong.”
However, there is no official confirmation on this yet.
Notably, this is not the first time that Salman's movie will be skipping the usual release day on Friday. Khan’s last film Tiger 3 was also released on Sunday in 2023 Diwali.
