Sikandar Story Leak Shocks Fans Remake or Original?

In the age of the internet, secrecy in cinema is almost impossible set photos, fight scenes, and even entire plotlines often leak before a film's release. Now, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s upcoming film Sikandar has sparked a heated debate: Is it an original story, or is it a remake of Sarkar 2018, the Tamil blockbuster starring Thalapathy Vijay?

Both films share striking similarities a wealthy protagonist who takes on corruption after witnessing the struggles of the common people. The presence of Sathyaraj as a politician in Sikandar further fuels the speculation, as he played a key role in Sarkar as well. These parallels have led many to believe that Sikandar might be a reworked version of the Tamil hit. However, sources close to the film insist it is not a direct remake. While it tackles corruption and social justice, Sikandar has reportedly been crafted specifically for Salman Khan.

Bollywood’s recent remakes, like HIT, Baby John and Deva, have struggled at the box office. Will Sikandar break the trend, or will it meet the same fate? If Murugadoss brings a fresh perspective, the film could stand on its own. But if it mirrors Sarkar too closely, audiences might reject it. With a March 2025 release on the horizon, one thing is certain fans are eager to see if Salman Khan and Murugadoss deliver something new or just a familiar story in a new package.
