Sikandar shows gets canceled owing to low demand
Salman Khan and AR Murugadoss directorial Sikandar, which released on Eid, had a promising start at the box office, with a solid ₹26 crore opening on Sunday, Day 1. The film witnessed a boost on Eid as some shows went housefull in select centres. But, ironically while the demand for Sikandar surged in certain cinemas, it has been replaced in multiple theatres due to underperformance in others with Malayalam actor-filmmaker Mohanlal’s L2 Empuraan.
As per reports while many shows of Sikandar have not been cancelled in Mumbai, some cinemas, including the G7 multiplex, which encompasses the renowned Gaeity-Galaxy, increased the number of screenings.
The film continued to run there without cancellations, despite reports of some screenings having a very low audience.
In contrast, theatres in cities like Surat, Indore, and Ahmedabad experienced a different fate, where Sikandar was replaced with other films due to limited audience turnout, especially in areas where the Eid effect was minimal.
