Salman drops action packed video to announce Sikandar OTT release

Bollywood’s most beloved action hero, Salman Khan, recently made a grand statement not through a press conference or a poster drop but with fists flying and his signature charm intact. The superstar revealed that his film 'Sikandar' is now available to stream on Netflix and as expected, he did it in a style that only he can pull off with a dash of swag and a whole lot of action.In a freshly released promo video, Salman is seen in an elevator with his assistant. He casually hums a tune preparing for what appears to be a major announcement. As the assistant reminds him about the big reveal, Salman nonchalantly asks for his dialogues and the moment is lighthearted but it doesn’t stay that way for long. The elevator ride is interrupted by a gang of rowdy goons. In true ‘Bhai’ fashion, Salman springs into action throwing punches and protecting his assistant, all while keeping his effortless style intact.

Meanwhile outside the lift his team wonders what’s taking him so long. “Bhai kyu nahi aaye?” asks one. Another coolly replies, “Bhai dilo mein aate hain.” And just like that Salman emerges and drops the line fans were waiting for: “Sikandar is now on Netflix.”Box office stumble, streaming redemption?Originally hitting theatres on March 30, 'Sikandar' came with massive expectations. Directed by AR Murugadoss and co-starring Rashmika Mandanna, the film promised to be a commercial powerhouse.

However the response was far from spectacular. The film had a lukewarm response at the box office and many also criticised it. But hopefully, fans will watch it in big numbers on OTT.

OTT debut could offer second life

Now, as 'Sikandar' lands on OTT, it might just find the audience it missed during its theatrical run. With Salman’s promotional video already going viral fans are eager to revisit the film or perhaps give it a first shot on the comfort of their screens. Streaming platforms have a way of reviving films that struggled at the box office and with Khan’s charisma leading the way, 'Sikandar' might still have a chance to shine.
