The excitement surrounding Salman Khan’s action thriller Sikandar, which dropped in cinemas early Sunday morning, was short-lived. Within hours, the film was struck with piracy issues. Multiple illegal platforms, including Telegram groups, allegedly leaked the movie online, offering illicit downloads and streaming links. The latest reports suggest that it was an insider job since the pirated version includes scenes that did not make it to the final cut. 

Sikandar pirated version different from theatrical release 

According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, some of the scenes in the pirated version are of Salman learning about Rashmika Mandanna wanting to become a lawyer after her death, medical students informing him about Dharavi pollution, Sathyaraj learning about the three individuals who received Rashmika’s organs and their whereabouts, and Kajal Aggarwal attempting suicide. It also does not include Iulia Vantur singing Lag Ja Gale or Salman singing Ajeeb Dastaan.
