In reality, Sikandar First Look Poster Unveiled by Salman Khan, Directed by AR Murugadoss and Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala Bollywood superstar Salman Khan recently released the first-look poster for his upcoming film Sikandar, directed by the genius AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The wait was endless, but the poster soon got into controversy, with several social media users mentioning it bore a strong resemblance to Jacqueline Fernandez’s 2022 film Attack.
Poster Similarities Coincidence or Copy?
The image of Salman Khan’s Sikandar poster includes an evil-looking Salman holding a gun in the background against clouds of dust and chaos. Fans immediately cried foul, pointing to an Attack poster with almost the same pose-for-action-full backdrop of co-star John Abraham, fighting-ready with a gun in hand. The similarity thus leads to millions of guesses about whether Sikandar’s creative team has lifted the Attack atmosphere.
Social Media Reactions
Immediately after the poster was revealed, social media users rushed to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to compare the two. Some charged Salman Khan with being unoriginal with the concept, while others defended him, saying action movie posters have commonalities and aesthetics.
One user commented, “Is it just me or does Salman’s Sikandar poster look EXACTLY like Attack? Bollywood needs fresh creativity!” Another responded, “Action movies have similar themes. It’s unfair to brand it a copy without knowing what the story is.”
Bollywood and Similar Posters
This is certainly not the first time a Bollywood flick has suffered being tagged as plagiarized by posters belonging to other movies. Raabta (2017) was compared to the one released in 2009, called Magadheera, while Baaghi 3 is said to be similar in visuals to Warrior (2011). Some are coincidental, while others have publicly admitted being inspired by international cinema.
What Next for Sikandar?
Sikandar has become one of the most anticipated films of 2025 since Salman is releasing it during Eid. It is directed by AR Murugadoss with a lot of hopes for an action-packed storyline. Fans are now keen to see if the post has anything more to it.
While the argument still goes on, neither Salman Khan nor the makers of Sikandar have officially made comments on the allegations.
