As Sikandar gears up for its mega release on the festive occasion of Eid, filmmaker AR Murugadoss gets candid on how he got Bollywood superstar Salman Khan on board for the action entertainer. As a storyteller, Murugadoss has also worked with the biggest superstars from South cinema including Rajinikanth, Vijay, Suriya, and Mahesh Babu. He asserts that while working with a superstar you can’t be a hundred percent true to the script. 

Salman Khan’s nod to Sikandar 

In an interview with PTI, Murugadoss shared that he met Salman Khan while shooting for Holiday at Madh Island. “I went and said hello. Then I said, `I want to make a film with you.` He replied, `Even I want to do a film with you`. A few years later, he called me as he wanted to do a Korean film remake, and I said, `I don`t want to do it. If I want to do a film with you, it has to be something which I want to write myself.”
