Salman Khan and Eid-ul-Fitr have always had a special connection. Even though he must be the quintessential modern man, the actor is extremely religious and loves to celebrate all festivals in style. Even though Salman might not have a mega release this Eid, he has ensured to treat his fans to a special Eidi.

Celebrating the spirit of Ramadan, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor has announced his next film with the renowned Tamil filmmaker, A.R. Murgadoss. The movie is titled Sikandar and will see Salman Khan play the titular role.

The announcement comes on a special occasion, citing the end of the month-long dawn-to-dusk fasting and religious prayers of Ramzan.

For the uninitiated, Eid 2024 will see a massive clash between two potentially blockbuster movies, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, starring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, and Maidan, headlined by Ajay Devgn.

A month ago, on March 12, Salman Khan took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and announced his collaboration with AR Murgadoss and Sajid Nadiadwala.
