When Salman Khan is in a movie, you already know the mass appeal is off the charts! His larger-than-life presence, high-octane action, and undeniable charisma guarantee packed theatres. But, while Sikandar is raking in crores at the box office, it’s also dealing with something no film should have to face – a shady online negativity campaign!
Salman fans are not having it, and they’re calling out the haters for spreading fake news. From manipulated old videos to misleading social media ads, it seems like there’s a serious attempt to sabotage the film’s success. But, as Bhai’s fans say, “Jisme Salman ho, usko koi rok nahi sakta!”
The Sikandar Storm: Box Office Roars, But Negativity Rises!
Since its grand release, Sikandar has been unstoppable, crossing a whopping ?158.5 crore worldwide and counting! Fans are loving every bit of it, and the Eid release magic is in full swing. But while the numbers are soaring, some people are busy trying to pull the film down with fake reviews and negativity.
Old Clips Masquerading As New ‘Reviews’? Fans Call Out The Deception!
A viral video circulated online, purportedly showing disappointed audiences walking out of Sikandar. While some speculated the clip was from Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Salman’s fans confirmed its authenticity by highlighting the Sikandar poster visible in the background.
Salman’s fans were quick to expose the scam, pointing out how these tactics were being used to sway public perception before people even had the chance to watch the film themselves.

Salman Khan fans show Support
The Salman Khan Fan Club isn’t staying quiet. One of the admins slammed the manufactured hate, saying: “It remains to be seen whether this campaign is driven by someone in the industry, or just an aggressive push by rival fan groups. But something like this has the power to wipe off a film. It happened during Tubelight. You can’t combat these posts because there is most likely an agency hired and it is multiplying bots every hour. Many posts claimed that shows are cancelled, but if you check at Gaiety Galaxy, the shows are sold out.”
Another hardcore Salman fan club, Salman Army, called out the dangerous trend of hiring agencies to amplify negativity with fake social media ads.
He added, “We saw how online hate ensured that people stayed away from Aamir Khan’s film. Something similar is happening here. Why is an old video being sold as a reaction to Sikandar?” He adds that those at the helm of it are setting a “dangerous precedent,” saying, “If an agency can be hired to run paid ads and amplify negative tweets about a film, it can be used against any actor or filmmaker in the future. It’s manipulation.”
Sikandar – The Film That’s Got Everyone Talking!
While the paid trolls are busy, Sikandar continues to shine where it really matters—the audience’s hearts. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss and backed by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film features Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, alongside a powerhouse supporting cast including Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Kishore, Jatin Sarna, and Sanjay Kapoor.
