In a major setback for the makers of Sikandar, starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, the highly anticipated film has fallen prey to online piracy. Just hours before its theatrical release, an HD print of the film was leaked online, spreading rapidly across various websites.
Trade analyst Komal Nahta took to X (formerly Twitter) to condemn the leak, stating, “It’s the worst nightmare for any producer. A film being leaked before its theatrical release is devastating. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Sikandar’. The producer had authorities pull the film down from 600 sites last night, but the damage had already been done.” He further emphasized how such leaks can severely impact the film’s box office performance, calling the act “condemnable.”
