The stakes are high, though. In order to qualify as a hit, Sikandar would need to rake in over ₹300 crores net in the box office collections in India. With superstars Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal having recently made ₹500 crore blockbusters, Salman has the responsibility of establishing himself all over again.
With Eid release date of March 30 approaching, everyone’s eyes are on advance bookings and word of mouth to find out if Sikandar is capable of fulfilling its humongous expectations and flexing Salman’s box office muscles once again.
