Heavy rain disrupts Salman Khan starrer Sikandar shoot
The heavy rains paralysed the city with movement of vehicles that includes Mumbai’s Lifeline was heavily disrupted. Even transport buses couldn’t move due to Waterlogging in most of the places in the city and suburbs. Educational institutions remained shut. Even production and other entertainment events had to be cancelled as people couldn’t move.
Salman Khan starrer Sikandar shoot suffered most amid the torrential rains and shoot had to be called off.
As per reports, the film crew had been diligently working at the SRPF Ground in Goregaon since the end of August, preparing for an elaborate action sequence. However, the heavy rainfall forced a change of plans. The lighting setup required for the scene posed a significant risk of electrical short circuits, prompting the production team to prioritize safety and temporarily halt the shoot.
Salman Khan arrived at the set at 5 pm, prepared for an overnight shoot. A source close to the production revealed, “The shoot was to start at 7 pm, and the crew was on the set by 3 pm. But given the incessant rains, the direction team decided to call off the shoot for the day. The IMD had issued a red alert by then, and there was no way the team could have pulled off a night shoot in that weather.”
Despite the setback, the production team remains optimistic about resuming filming on Friday, weather permitting. The source assured, “The two-day delay is not expected to affect the project’s overall schedule.” Sikandar, which also features Rashmika Mandanna and Sathyaraj, is being crafted as an action-packed film and is slated for an Eid 2025 release.
