This has led fans to accuse the song of plagiarism, calling out the makers and Salman Khan for allegedly copying scenes from the Bangladeshi film.
A specific comparison between Zohra Jabeen, featuring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, and a song starring Bangladeshi actor Shakib Khan has further fueled the debate.

The dance steps and outfits in both songs appear almost identical.
Not just that, the choreography for the song Sikandar Naache is also remarkably similar to a Turkish dance from 2005.
Rather than generating excitement, these songs have stirred more controversy than buzz for the film.
Upon discovering this, fans have called the makers lazy, accusing them of lacking originality in their work.
Many are even saying that the Bangladeshi version of Zohra Jabeen is far more entertaining than the one in Sikandar.
Now, the big question remains- will this controversy attract more audiences to theatres, or will it damage the film’s future? Only time will tell.
