Can South Padding Help Bolly’s Big Star?

Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan had been in desperate need of commercial success at the box office. None of his films have worked at the ticket counters, and he is now pinning hopes on his upcoming film, Sikandar.

Incidentally, the makers of Sikandar had released the teaser of the film a few minutes back and it promises commercial entertainment.

One of the hallmark things that catches the attention in the teaser is the South Indian style of presentation and also the heavy South padding.

The film is directed by Murugadoss South Indian filmmaker and Rashmika Mandanna in the female leader role. Even the antagonist is played by Sathyaraj, who is a Tamil actor. We get a strong sense of South spice in this teaser.

However, this isn’t appearing to be a typical action drama in Murugadoss style with a relevant social message. Even Murugadoss has modified his making style a bit to cater to the Hindi folk. He didn’t go all out with his south filmmaking style either.

Despite the fact that Murugadas himself has not been in the best of forms lately, Sikandar happens to be a promising film in Bollywood. By the looks of it, the film primarily runs on the appeal of Salman and the South padding set up by Murugadoss.

The film is officially getting up for release this Eid(March end) and it has to be seen if Salman and Muruga can make a strong comeback with the same.
