Salman Khan recently graced the highly anticipated trailer launch of his upcoming film, Sikandar. With excitement for Sajid Nadiadwala’s action-packed entertainer reaching new heights, the event further added to the growing buzz. During the launch, Salman delivered a mic-drop response when asked about the film’s success, leaving fans both impressed and even more eager for its big-screen premiere.

Salman Khan’s cheeky remark on Sikandar’s expected box office collection

On March 23, 2025, Salman Khan graced the grand trailer launch of Sikandar in Mumbai, accompanied by his co-star, Rashmika Mandanna. During the event, when asked about Sikandar releasing on Eid 2025 and the expected box office numbers, Salman delivered his signature one-liner with a cheeky grin. The superstar candidly remarked that regardless of the festival or the film’s quality, his fans always ensure that his movies cross at least Rs. 100 crore at the box office. Salman remarked:

“Eid, Diwali, New Year, festive, non-festive — it’s the love of the people. Picture achi ho ya buri ho, wo Rs 100 crore toh paar kara hi dete hain… Rs 100 crore bohot pehle ki baat hain, ab Rs 200 crore”.

Salman Khan speaks up on the 31-year age gap between him and Rashmika Mandanna

Further into the media interaction, Salman had to tackle some tough questions from reporters. One journalist complimented Salman on his dashing appearance at the event, especially after a recent viral photo showing him looking aged and unwell sparked concern and criticism among fans. While the actor had initially remained silent on the issue, his latest comments made it clear he's well aware of the online chatter. Salman addressed it with honesty and humour. He was heard saying:

“Beech mein aisa gadbad ho jaata hai ki 6-7 raat soye nahin, fir vo social media vaale peeche padd jaate hain, unko dikhaana padta hai ki abhi bhi hai.”

During the same interaction, Salman also surprised everyone by addressing the backlash that Sikandar is receiving due to the 31-year age gap between him and his co-star, Rashmika Mandanna. Salman explained that he works hard to maintain his fitness, yet people continue to point out the age difference. Addressing the criticism in his usual witty and light-hearted note, he said:

“Phir woh bolte hain 31 years ka difference hai heroine aur mujh mein, arrey jab heroine ko problem nahi hai, heroine ke papa ko dikkat nahi hai, tumko kyun dikkat hai bhai? Inki shaadi hogi, bachchi hongi, toh unke sath bhi kaam karenge. Mummy ki permission toh mil hi jayega.”
