Before the release of Sikandar, there was minimal promotional material, and a portion of the film was shot just days before its release.
With no official release date even days before the premiere, many fans questioned whether the film was even complete and ready for release.

Based on the marketing strategy, it certainly didn’t seem so.
However, some fans speculate that the film’s release was strategically timed to divert attention from the rumoured involvement of India in Nepal’s political affairs.

However, in the years since, political instability has persisted, with weak coalition governments frequently collapsing within months amid corruption scandals.
Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets, calling for the return of former King Gyanendra to the throne.
They aim to overthrow the republic government, restore the monarchy, declare Nepal a Hindu state, and abolish federalism.
Amidst this political turmoil, many fans believe that the release of Sikandar was strategically planned to distract the public from these pressing issues.
Some even suspect that the Indian government is involved in Nepal’s politics, potentially supporting efforts to establish a Hindu state, which is why the film’s release may have been rushed despite needing more refinement.
While these theories remain fan speculation, it is thought-provoking to consider whether Sikandar has any indirect connection to Nepal’s political landscape.
