Salman Khan's upcoming film Sikandar is currently the talk of the town for all the right reasons, as it inches closer to its much-anticipated theatrical release on Eid/Gudi Padwa/Ugadi. The makers have now officially announced the release date, leaving fans thrilled. There’s a lot of excitement surrounding the project, primarily because Salman Khan is collaborating with the maverick filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss for the first time. Murugadoss, one of the most sought-after directors in the country, has been making headlines for this partnership.
But now that he has worked with Salman, is there a possibility he will collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan next? Or, even better—could he bring the Karan Arjun duo back together for one of the biggest Bollywood projects of the decade? Here’s what the director had to say.

A.R. Murugadoss, who is currently busy with Sikandar, a Tamil film, and promotional activities for the Salman Khan starrer, has been in the news lately. In a recent interview with ETimes, he spoke about the possibility of collaborating with Shah Rukh Khan in the near future. The director confirmed that while he is open to the idea, he is currently occupied with other projects. Salman Khan's Eid releases to watch on OTT: Dabangg to Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan
For those unaware, Murugadoss has previously worked with Aamir Khan in Ghajini, marking his Bollywood debut. Following this, there were strong rumors about a project that would reunite Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, especially after Murugadoss’ return to Hindi cinema with Sikandar. However, no further updates regarding the Salman-SRK film emerged.
When asked if he would collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan next, Murugadoss responded, "Right now, my focus is on completing my Tamil project. After that, I’ll sit down with Sajid sir, and if everything aligns, we might plan something exciting."
