Salman Khan Shaves Off Beard Immediately After Wrapping Up Sikandar Shoot With Rashmika Mandanna; Here's Why

Actor Salman Khan has officially wrapped up filming for his upcoming action drama Sikandar, co-starring Rashmika Mandanna. The actor, who maintained a bearded look for his character, shaved it off immediately after completing the final shoot.

A source from the production shared, "It was a patchwork sequence between Salman and Rashmika in Bandra, and the team wrapped up around 8:30 PM. As soon as the shoot ended, Salman shaved his beard, as he prefers a clean-shaven look in real life."

The principal shooting for Sikandar had already concluded in January, but Salman, Rashmika, and the team returned in February and March for patchwork and a promotional song. An insider revealed that Salman’s fresh look quickly made rounds on social media after the shoot.

The film, directed by AR Murugadoss, has now moved into the post-production phase, with editing, VFX, and background work in progress. "The final prints of Sikandar will be completed in the next five days, marking the countdown to its release," the source added.

Filmed over 90 days across locations in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and other parts of India, Sikandar blends action, drama, politics, and revenge, following Murugadoss' signature storytelling style. The film also features Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar in pivotal roles.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar marks Salman’s first collaboration with Rashmika and his reunion with Nadiadwala after their 2014 hit Kick. The film is set for an Eid 2025 theatrical release.
