Salman Fans Begging: Sikandar Makers Ignoring?
Despite all this Sikandar has everything to succeed. A.R. Murugadoss is known for making high octane action films and Salman Khan's fanbase is one of the strongest in India.
His Eid releases always work and if the film has a good story and grand visuals audiences will turn up.
The OTT conversation is temporary what matters is whether Sikandar delivers the kind of mass entertainment Salman is known for.
OTT may change audience habits but Salman Khan is still a superstar. If Sikandar has a good story and high energy action the Netflix logo won't matter.
Theaters will be full and the film will work. At the end of the day content is king and if Sikandar delivers it will be a hit no matter when it comes on streaming.
