Murugadoss On Shooting ‘Sikandar’ Amid Salman Death Threats
When ‘Sikandar’ went on floors, the Bishnoi gang had issued death threats to Salman for his alleged involvement in the blackbuck hunting case.
However, an unfazed Salman continued to shoot for the film amid tight security.
In a recent interview with The Times of India, director AR Murugadoss opened up about shooting the film amid death threats against Salman and ‘high security’.
“Salman sir is completely different. The scale of Sikandar was massive, we often had scenes with 10,000 to 20,000 people on set. Managing such large crowds required high security and intense coordination. Our schedule was so demanding, and it became more hectic with the threat,” the director said, while sharing his experience.
He continued, “Post that, the security was tightened and the checking of all the extra artistes on set would take 2-3 hours daily. Their entries and exits took major of our days and we would often start the shoot late and ended late by wee hours of the morning. Our biological cycle went on toss. But once we adapted, it became a routine, and the set had a very positive energy.”
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film also stars Kajal Aggarwal and Rashmika Mandanna in key roles.
