  Sikandar leaked hours before its release

  Well, there's a bad news for Salman Khan fans. Even before its release on Sunday, Sikandar was leaked online on Saturday night, a few hours before its release. Note: DNA does not promote piracy. We request everyone to not watch pirated films/TV shows.

  It’s the worst nightmare for any producer. A film being leaked before its theatrical release. Unfortunately, that’s what happened last evening to Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Sikandar’, slated to release today in cinemas. The producer had the authorities pull the film down from 600 sites… pic.twitter.com/mRA8T4qG23

  Salman Khan on 31-year age gap with Rashmika Mandanna in Sikandar

  While addressing the 31-year-age gap with Rashmika, 28, at the trailer launch event of Sikandar, Salman, 59, said, "Jab heroine ko problem nahi hai, heroine ke papa ko dikkat nahi hai, tumko kyun dikkat hai bhai? Inki shaadi hogi, bachchi hogi toh unke sath bhi kaam karenge. Mummy ki permission toh mil hi jaayegi."

  Megastar #SalmanKhan giving a reply to trollers in his own way at the #SikandarTrailer launch event:
  
  They say there’s a 31-year difference between the heroine and me. If the heroine has no problem with it and her father has no problem, why do you have. #Sikandar pic.twitter.com/scb9t2NfrF
