Salman Khan’s latest film, ‘Sikandar,’ was released on the occasion of Eid with high expectations. However, the film has struggled to perform well at the box office. It opened with Rs. 26 crore on its first day but faced mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. After 3 days of release, the film has collected Rs 74.5 crore net in India, as reported by Sacnilk.
According to the makers, ‘Sikandar’ earned Rs. 35.47 crore on its opening day and Rs. 39.37 crore on the second day. Worldwide, the film has managed to collect Rs. 141.15 crore in three days. Despite these numbers, the film is yet to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark in India, a milestone Salman’s Eid releases usually achieve with ease.
Fans blame producers for Sikandar’s BO performance
As fans expressed disappointment over the film’s performance, some took to social media to blame the producers. Many Salman Khan supporters accused the producers of “destroying” the actor’s career. One fan commented, “Have some shame, or would you not stop until you destroy Salman Khan’s career?” Another user tagged Warda Khan Nadiadwala, the wife of producer Sajid Nadiadwala, and questioned, “How can you be so shameless?”
Warda Khan’s responses to trolls
Meanwhile, producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s wife, Warda, who has been actively promoting the film by sharing positive reactions, did not hold back in her responses. When a fan called her a “Jaahil aurat” (ignorant woman), she replied, “Get well soon.”
These interactions quickly went viral, with screenshots of her replies being widely shared on social media. However, it appears that Warda has now removed most of them from her feed. Some criticized Warda for her language, while others defended her, stating that Salman himself is responsible for selecting scripts and directors. One Reddit user wrote, “She had nothing to do with the movie. It is Salman who chose the script and director. It is on him. But these fans can’t call him out.”
Despite the backlash, Warda continued to highlight positive fan responses to ‘Sikandar.’ She reshared a post that read, “Sikandar just owned every fan’s heart” and added, “Yoo-hoo, Sikandar ka fans ke dillon pe raaj.” She also shared another post stating, “Salman Khan’s Sikandar will earn more than Rs. 20 crore at the box office,” to which she responded, “Jawaab audience ka karara Jawab.”
