Salman Khan’s Sikandar: A Big-Budget Film with Whopping Salaries

Salman Khan’s Sikandar is making waves already, and the buzz is only growing. To be directed by AR Murugadoss and be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, this action drama film will probably be a box-office success. While the release date has not been announced officially, the teaser will be released on Eid 2025.

Salman Khan’s Whopping Fee for Sikandar

Reputed for his box-office record-breaking performances, Salman Khan will be getting a whopping ₹120 crore for his performance in Sikandar. This figure is over half of the movie’s ₹200 crore budget and is one of the largest paychecks in Bollywood. Salman’s salary is said to include profit-sharing deals, adding to his enormous payday.

Rashmika Mandanna & Other Cast Salaries

Though Salman charges the highest amount, the other lead of the film, Rashmika Mandanna, will be paid ₹5 crore—24 times lower than Salman’s remuneration. Kajal Aggarwal will get ₹3 crore, while supporting actors Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj will get ₹75 lakh, ₹60 lakh, and ₹50 lakh, respectively.

Salman’s Thoughts on Box Office & Age Gap Controversy

During a recent event in Mumbai, Salman was asked about Sikander’s box-office performance expectations. He replied confidently that, regardless of what may be, his films always go over the ₹100 crore mark, observing that ₹100 crore is an outdated number now.

Making a light of the criticism regarding the age gap between him and Rashmika Mandanna, Salman dismissed it, laughing, “The heroine’s father doesn’t have an issue. When she gets married and gives birth to children, she will need her husband’s permission to work, not mine.”

With a huge budget, star cast, and huge expectations, Sikandar is turning out to be one of Bollywood’s largest films of 2025. Are you looking forward to it?
