Salman Khan had been filming for Sikandar, his upcoming film with A.R. Murugadoss, in the past few months.
It seems like Salman Khan’s work is taking a massive hit due to the ongoing security concerns and death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Over the weekend, Salman looked mentally affected by the threats and Baba Siddique’s death while appearing on Bigg Boss 18 Weekend Ka Vaar. Soon after, it was reported that Rohit Shetty allegedly dropped the idea of shooting his Chulbul Pandey cameo for Singham Again owing to Salman’s distressing time. Now, it is claimed that Sikandar’s shooting schedule has also come to a standstill.
A source close to Salman Khan claimed that Salman is limiting his work commitments to lay low amid the growing death threats he’s been subjected to. “It is no longer enough to provide him stern security. For some time now, Salman would have to lie really now. He won’t be shooting for anything for quite a while, indefinitely I’d say,” the actor’s alleged close friend told Times Now.

“Abhi kuch nahin kaha jaa sakta hai. Sikandar requires a whole lot of choreographed action. Director Murugadoss needed Salman’s full attention. But right now that seems impossible. The way ahead is still very unclear. Right now, the most important thing is Salman and his family’s safety. That won’t be compromised under any circumstance,” the insider added. Salman and his team are yet to react to the claims.
Directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar is set to release on Eid 2025. The film has been in the making for a few months now. Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal, who are playing pivotal parts in the film, had confirmed that the shoot had commenced via social media posts. Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, it was reported that Salman had injured himself on the sets of the film. The Bollywood star had confirmed that he had injured his ribs during the filming process.
However, in the recent days, Salman has been tackling death threats from members of the Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. The most recent threat came shortly after Mumbai-based political leader Baba Siddique’s murder. The leader, who was close to Salman, was shot outside his son’s office and died in the hospital shortly after. Salman’s security has been amped up ever since.
