Salman Khan Throws Shade at AR Murugadoss Over 8 PM Arrival on Sikandar Sets
Actor Salman Khan, currently hosting Bigg Boss 19, recently responded to director AR Murugadoss’s allegations regarding his punctuality on the sets of their film Sikandar. During the show’s Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman showcased his signature humor while addressing the claims that he arrived late for filming. His remarks not only highlighted the tension between him and Murugadoss but also provided a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes challenges faced during the production of Sikandar.
The Background: Murugadoss’s Allegation
AR Murugadoss, the director of Sikandar, expressed his frustrations in a recent interview, stating that working with a prominent Bollywood star like Salman Khan came with its own set of difficulties. He claimed that Salman would often arrive on set around 8 PM, which forced the crew to shoot day scenes at night. This chaotic schedule, according to Murugadoss, particularly affected child actors who had to work late into the night. While he acknowledged his own creative shortcomings, he suggested that Salman’s late arrivals contributed to the film’s lackluster performance at the box office. Murugadoss’s comments have sparked discussions about the challenges of coordinating schedules with high-profile actors and the impact it can have on film production.
Salman’s Retort on Bigg Boss 19
During a segment of Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan addressed the allegations directly. When comedian Ravi Gupta asked him about films he regretted, Salman mentioned older projects but clarified that he had no regrets about Sikandar. He humorously responded to Murugadoss’s claims by saying, “Main set pe raat ke 9 baje pahuchta tha, meri pasaliyan tooti thi,” which translates to him arriving at 9 PM due to a fractured rib. This playful jab was accompanied by a sarcastic remark about Murugadoss’s latest Tamil film, Madharaasi, suggesting that its actors arrived on set much earlier. Salman’s comments not only showcased his wit but also highlighted the ongoing rivalry between him and the director.
Salman Khan Takes A Dig at Sikandar Producer and Box Office Jibe
In addition to addressing Murugadoss, Salman Khan also took a lighthearted dig at the film’s producer, Sajid Nadiadwala. He noted that both Nadiadwala and Murugadoss distanced themselves from Sikandar following its disappointing box office performance. Salman quipped, “Pehle Sajid kalti, phir Murugadoss South sidha,” implying that the team quickly moved on after the film’s failure. He further joked that Madharaasi was a “bigger blockbuster than Sikandar,” which elicited laughter from the Bigg Boss audience. This playful banter not only entertained viewers but also underscored the competitive nature of the film industry, where box office success can significantly impact reputations.
The Story of Sikandar
Released earlier this year, Sikandar tells the emotional tale of Sanjay Rajkot, portrayed by Salman Khan, who embarks on a journey to protect three individuals who received organ donations from his late wife, played by Rashmika Mandanna. The film aimed to resonate with audiences through its heartfelt narrative. However, despite its compelling storyline, it struggled to perform well at the box office. The ongoing exchange between Salman Khan and AR Murugadoss highlights the complexities of filmmaking and the pressures that come with high expectations in the industry. As both figures continue to navigate their careers, fans are left to ponder the implications of their public feud.
