AR murugadoss on salman Khan: AR murugadoss, director of salman Khan's film 'Sikandar', has talked about his shooting experience with him. Let's know what the director has said.
When bollywood superstar salman Khan's film 'Sikandar' was released in theaters, the expectations of the audience were sky high. Despite the huge budget, big name, and tremendous promotion, the film could not do much at the box office. But now the director of the film, AR murugadoss, has talked about his shooting experience with Salman. The director of the film has made many revelations in the interview.
AR murugadoss told in an interview to a YouTube channel named 'Valaipechu Voice' that shooting with salman khan was not easy. According to him, salman khan usually came on the set only after 8 pm. In such a situation, whether the scene was of the day or children returning from school, the shooting had to be done at night. Murugadoss said that by the time Salman reached the set, the energy of the other actors was almost over.
Murugadoss shared another shocking anecdote. He said that many times the script had scenes with children to be shot during the day, like returning home from school, but due to Salman's timing, these scenes also had to be shot at 2 a.m. This time was very tiring and wrong for the children. murugadoss said that many times the children started dozing off during the scene itself.
The director clarified that working with a big star like salman khan is an honor, but with it comes a lot of challenges. He says that from the technical team to the co-stars, everyone had to adapt according to Salman's timing. murugadoss also admitted that salman is very professional about his work, but his working style is quite different from the traditional shooting schedule.
Made on a budget of around Rs 200 crore, 'Sikander' was made as a mega project. It was expected that the film would be included in the list of salman Khan's blockbuster films. But the film could only earn Rs 110.1 crore at the indian box office. At the same time, the worldwide collection was around 185 crores, which was insufficient according to the budget. The film received mixed reactions from both critics and audiences.
Despite the flop 'Sikander', salman Khan's stardom has not diminished. He is currently busy shooting for apoorva Lakhia's film 'Battle of Galwan', which is said to be based on the India-China border dispute. Apart from this, he will also be seen in the sequel to 'Kick 2'. Also, another film named 'Ganga Ram' with sanjay dutt is in the news. Salman is still one of the biggest draws for the audience, and fans are eagerly waiting for his next film.
