Bollywood icon Salman Khan addresses the trend of controversies tied to film releases as he promotes 'Sikandar'. Khan expressed a desire to avoid controversies, asserting they don't ensure a film's success.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, a staple of the silver screen, is preparing for the highly-anticipated release of his film, 'Sikandar'. In a recent promotional interview with ANI, Khan candidly addressed industry topics such as controversies and fan expectations.

Khan was questioned about the increasing trend of controversies accompanying movie releases. He firmly stated, "Arey nahin chahiye bhai humko koi controversy. Bohot saare controversies se guzar chuke hain hum. Humko nahin chahiye koi controversy," emphasizing that controversies do not guarantee box office hits and can even delay film releases.

Focusing on 'Sikandar', Khan reassured fans that the movie offers much more than its 3.5-minute trailer suggests, highlighting the importance of emotions in action films. Moreover, Khan shared insights into his father, Salim Khan's, unexpected presence at the trailer launch, marking it as a moment of familial pride.

The film, directed by A.R. Murugadoss, known for hits like 'Ghajini', is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, reuniting with Khan after the success of 'Kick'. Set to hit theaters on March 30, 2025, 'Sikandar' has already begun creating buzz among audiences.
