Stars like Salman Khan are still carrying on with remakes despite the outrage for the lack of originality in Bollywood, and it makes fans furious. Even people who were inclined towards watching the movie are now considering otherwise.

Salman and A. R. Murugadoss both have not said anything about Sikandar being a remake. And if it actually is, it makes things worse. Hiding the fact can only backfire for the movie.
We have seen how there was a good hype for Deva initially but as people started to speculate about its being a remake of ‘Mumbai Police’ the buzz died down. The makers repeatedly stated in interviews that the movie was not a remake, and the strategy did not help at all.
