While many prominent sources like Pinkvilla had reported the film to have a grand budget of Rs.400 Cr before the name reveal, the latest articles hint at something completely different.
Now articles are popping up, confirming Sikandar to have secured an amazing non-theatrical deal of Rs.165 Cr, covering approximately 80% of the film’s production cost.

But if that’s even remotely true, then the film’s budget should be around the 200-cr mark, half of what was advertised earlier.
It seems that a lack of confidence in Sikandar has forced the makers to resort to the cheap tactics of silently decreasing the film’s budget rather than trying to increase its Box Office collection.
