Plot details
'Sikandar' to delve into contemporary family dynamics
Elaborating on the plot of Sikandar, Murugadoss said, "Ghajini was about a boyfriend-girlfriend love story, but this is about a husband-wife relationship."
"It explores how families function today, how couples treat each other, and what we might be missing in our relationships. That'll be the highlight of the film."
"Though Ghajini seemed to be a psycho-thriller, the love story of Aamir and Asin was the surprise element." "Similarly," Murugadoss added, "Sikandar has that surprise element which is intense."

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film stars Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi besides Khan and Mandanna.
