Salman Khan's Sikandar may have missed the mark at the box office, but a recently leaked deleted scene featuring Kajal Aggarwal is reigniting interest.
Salman Khan's much-hyped Eid 2025 release Sikandar may have fizzled out at the box office, but a newly surfaced deleted scene is stirring up major buzz online—and leaving fans wondering what could've been. The film, which was largely panned for its underwhelming narrative, is now back in conversations thanks to a powerful emotional sequence that never made it to the final cut.
The leaked clip, now doing the rounds on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), features Kajal Aggarwal's character in a deeply emotional moment as she contemplates suicide due to her oppressive family environment. In the scene, Salman Khan's titular character intervenes with a heartfelt monologue about the value of life, pleading with her in-laws to change their regressive thinking. His impassioned words about organ donation, mental health, and hope have resonated strongly with viewers—many of whom believe the scene could have added much-needed emotional depth to the film.
Why was this scene cut from the Film by Editing?? @BeingSalmanKhan that was a great and important scene for people to see… WHY THIS BAD EDITING?? #Sikandar pic.twitter.com/FpV6zdRwR6 — Ldpe414 (@ldpe414) April 20, 2025
Fans are flooding the comments with regret and admiration. 'This scene hits so hard—how could they cut this out?" one user wrote. Another commented, 'Salman's delivery here is vintage Bhaijaan. This would've made a difference."
One particularly striking reaction came from a user who connected the scene to rising youth mental health issues, saying, 'This was needed. Especially in today's world, the message was so important." Another chimed in, 'I hope they release the unedited version. It might even get more love than the theatrical one."
Despite Salman Khan's return to cinemas after a two-year Eid hiatus, Sikandar underperformed with a ₹184 crore global box office run. Directed by AR Murugadoss and featuring a star-studded cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and Sathyaraj, the film was criticized for its undercooked plot and inconsistent emotional beats.
Now, with this deleted scene out in the open, audiences are re-evaluating the film's potential. Many believe that, had the scene been included, it might have redefined not just Sikandar's critical reception—but its legacy.
