Actors Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar have officially joined the ensemble cast of Salman Khan’s highly anticipated film, “Sikandar,” scheduled for release next Eid, as announced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Movies on Thursday. The production house expressed their excitement on social media, warmly welcoming Sathyaraj and expressing delight in reuniting with Prateik Babbar for this cinematic venture. Accompanied by snapshots featuring both actors alongside Warda S Nadiadwala, the announcement generated considerable buzz among fans and industry insiders alike.
Sathyaraj, renowned for his iconic portrayal of Kattappa in the “Baahubali” series and his compelling performance as social reformer Periyar E. V. Ramasamy in the biographical film “Periyar,” brings a wealth of acting prowess to “Sikandar.” His recent credits include Aditya Sarpotdar’s horror-comedy “Munjya,” where he shared the screen with Sharvari Wagh and Abhay Verma, showcasing his versatility and enduring appeal.
Prateik Babbar, the son of esteemed actors Raj Babbar and Smita Patil, has carved a niche for himself with notable roles in films such as “Ekk Deewana Tha,” “Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na,” and the acclaimed “Chhichhore.” His return to collaborate with Salman Khan in “Sikandar” marks a significant reunion, underscoring his standing in the industry and his ability to deliver memorable performances.
Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, “Sikandar” represents a prestigious collaboration between industry stalwarts. Salman Khan, known for his successful partnerships with Nadiadwala on films like “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi,” “Judwaa,” and “Kick,” has set high expectations with the announcement of “Sikandar” for Eid next year.
Salman Khan had previously confirmed the film’s release date via social media earlier this Eid, teasing fans with the promise of another blockbuster. His post on Instagram hinted at the excitement surrounding “Sikandar,” urging fans to enjoy his recent releases while eagerly anticipating his next Eid offering.
“Sikandar” follows Salman Khan’s recent appearances in “Tiger 3” alongside Katrina Kaif and a cameo role in Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan,” demonstrating his enduring popularity and box office appeal. With “Sikandar,” Salman continues to push boundaries in the action genre while delivering entertainment that resonates with audiences worldwide.
The addition of Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar to the cast of “Sikandar” underscores the film’s ambition to blend star power with compelling storytelling. As anticipation builds for its release, “Sikandar” promises to captivate audiences with its cinematic grandeur and star-studded ensemble, setting the stage for another Eid blockbuster from Salman Khan and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Movies.
