After completing an extensive and action-packed schedule in Hyderabad, Salman Khan has returned to Mumbai to continue shooting for his upcoming film Sikandar. The film, directed by AR Murugadoss, is set to be one of the biggest action films of the year, with a highly anticipated train action sequence being one of its central highlights. The Mumbai schedule of the film began earlier this week, with Salman Khan joining the team on Wednesday for the dramatic and intense train sequence that promises to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
The train scene is being filmed on a massive scale at a Borivalli studio, which was cleverly transformed into a bustling railway station to accommodate the high-octane action that is expected to unfold. With the focus on security and minimizing the number of people on set, both the production team and Salman Khan's personal security have worked in close coordination to ensure the shoot runs smoothly. In an effort to avoid a large crowd, the director, AR Murugadoss, had already filmed portions of the scene involving a crowd of approximately 350 extras on Tuesday, a day before Salman’s arrival. This strategic decision was made to minimize any security risks while still ensuring the scene's grand scale.
According to sources close to the film's production, the train sequence is shaping up to be a pivotal moment in Sikandar. "The scale of this scene is massive. It involves raw, gritty action as Salman’s character is seen taking on a gang of baddies in a fierce battle. The action choreography is being designed to be bloody and vengeful, with Salman performing several intense stunts," the source revealed. The action sequence was shot with a limited crew of just 30 people, ensuring the safety of both the star and the crew. Meanwhile, the crowd-heavy sections featuring the 350 extras were filmed separately in advance, making sure that the crucial action sequences could be completed without interruptions.
The shooting schedule for Sikandar is set to continue in Mumbai until the end of January, with various locations across the city being used to capture the film's epic scenes. The production team is working tirelessly to keep the momentum going, with the film slated to be released as the big Eid release next year. The team is also mindful of the need to finish filming on time while ensuring that Salman Khan's security and safety are given the utmost priority throughout the process.
While working on Sikandar, Salman Khan is also gearing up for his highly anticipated Da-Bangg The Tour Reloaded, which is set to kick off in Dubai on December 7. The tour, which will see Salman and other members of his team perform across various cities in the Middle East, will begin its first show at the Dubai Harbour. From there, the tour will travel to Jeddah and Doha, bringing a star-studded entertainment experience to the Middle Eastern audience. Fans are eagerly anticipating the live performances, as the Da-Bangg tour is known for its high-energy atmosphere, musical performances, and Salman’s undeniable star power.
This exciting combination of shooting Sikandar and embarking on a global tour highlights Salman Khan's dedication to his craft, as he continues to balance his responsibilities as an actor while engaging with his fans on an international level. As the film nears its completion, fans are eagerly awaiting the action-packed drama, while also looking forward to the tour’s thrilling performances. With both the film and the tour lining up for next year, Salman Khan’s presence in the entertainment world continues to grow stronger.
