The actor joined hands with South filmmaker AR Murugadoss for this outing; however, it failed to create magic on screen. The filmmaker has addressed the underwhelming performance of the movie due to the language barrier. And now, he has clarified that the real problem was the execution. AR Murugadoss reveals Salman Khan's 'Sikandar' tanked at the box office Bhai fans were disappointed, as they felt 'Sikandar' would become a comeback film for their favorite superstar. Now, in an interview with Velaipechu Voice, the director stated that the base of the story was quite emotional. He said, "It's about a king who doesn't truly understand his wife. We are all like that—whether it's with our mother, friend, or wife, we often don't value relationships." The filmmaker added that only after a person's demise do people understand their value and feel "the weight of guilt." He said that in the movie, after the king's wife passes away, her organs are donated to three different people. In the story, the king finds them out and fulfills the things he couldn't do for her.
