Director Murugadoss, who is known for films Ghajini and Holiday, collaborated with Salman Khan for the first time for the upcoming film titled Sikandar. It is slated to hit theatres on March 30.
At the trailer launch event, the Ghajini director shared, “I was struggling as an AD (Assistant Director) long back. I wanted to watch a shoot, so I went to Prasad Studios in Chennai. I requested the security guard to let me in and watch me shoot. He allowed me on two conditions. You have to be in corner and you cannot talk to anyone. He gave me 20 minutes. After that, I had to leave.”
He further explained how he became a fan of Salman after one unexpected encounter with the actor and decided to cast him in a film.
At the trailer launch, Salman reflected on his experience working with Murugadoss, how the director constantly pushed him, especially in action sequences, to bring out his best.
