EXCLUSIVE: Salman Khan’s Sikandar bags a ‘rather decent’ Rs 165 crore non-theatrical deal, covering 80% of its production cost—because who needs a box office anyway?

Oh, the drama of Bollywood! Brace yourselves, dear readers, because the one and only Salman Khan is gearing up to hit the silver screen again with his upcoming blockbuster, "Sikandar." Scheduled for a grand Eid release, this action-packed spectacle is directed by AR Murugadoss and promises to be one of the year’s biggest cinematic events. With Rashmika Mandanna joining Salman in the lead, our beloved Bollywood is all set for another wild ride.

Now, let’s talk business, shall we? Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is no rookie when it comes to raking in the moolah. The non-theatrical rights of "Sikandar" have already fetched a jaw-dropping Rs 165 crore, and that, my dear friends, is just the beginning! 💰

Let’s break it down for you in Bollywood Newshound Nisha style: Netflix has snatched up the streaming rights for a cool Rs 85 crore, potentially soaring to Rs 100 crore if the film smashes past the Rs 350 crore mark at the box office. Zee has also jumped on the bandwagon, grabbing the satellite rights for Rs 50 crore and the music rights for Rs 30 crore. Not too shabby, huh?

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the production cost of this magnum opus is around Rs 180 crore, excluding, of course, Salman Khan’s fee. Because let’s be real, his paycheck is probably bigger than the budget of most indie films. 😂

Mark your calendars for March 30th, when "Sikandar" is set to unleash the magic of Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s first-ever on-screen pairing. With a celebrity filled ensemble cast including Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, and Sharman Joshi, the excitement is palpable. And let’s not forget the music! The first track, "Zohra Jabeen," has already sent fans into a tizzy, and another banger is dropping just in time for Holi.

Nisha’s Nutshell
In the glitzy galaxy of Bollywood, where budgets soar higher than Salman Khan’s shirtless scenes, remember this: It’s not just about the movie, it’s about the magic of marketing. 📈✨
