Shared by the film’s production house on social media, the poster was captioned: “Bas ab mudne ki der hai. Dil thaam ke baithiye. Just a few hours to go.” The trailer is all set to premiere at a grand event in Mumbai on March 23 at 4 PM.

About Sikandar

Directed by AR Murugadoss, best known for helming films like Ghajini, Sikandar promises to showcase Salman Khan in a rugged, action-heavy avatar, blended with his signature charisma. The film has been shot across Hyderabad and Mumbai, with high-octane sequences and dramatic set-pieces teased through promotional content.

Backed by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, Sikandar is being positioned as one of the biggest releases of 2025, with expectations running high ahead of its Eid debut.

While IPL 2025 continues to dominate headlines, a unique celebrity-studded T20 cricket match in Mumbai over the weekend drew major public attention — not just for its cause but also for a viral moment featuring Salman Khan and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The event, hosted by Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur, was organised to promote the TB Mukt Bharat campaign. Held at the MCA Cricket Stadium, the match saw Leaders XI, captained by Thakur himself, take on Actors XI, led by Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty.

Salman Khan-Eknath Shinde moment goes viral

Among several glimpses from the event, a video of Salman Khan and Eknath Shinde has gone viral across social media platforms. In the clip, Bollywood Bhaijaan is seen in a blue T-shirt posing for photos with Shinde, who playfully pulls him closer, prompting a rare smile from the actor. Shinde then holds his arm and gestures for him to sit beside him, leading to a warm and widely shared interaction.

The candid moment drew admiration online, with fans appreciating the camaraderie between the star and the political leader.

The match and surrounding activities served not only as a symbolic effort but also as a strong platform to spread awareness about tuberculosis — a goal aligned with India’s national health mission.

The recently released American musical fantasy film Snow White, featuring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, has witnessed a modest rise in collections on its second day at the Indian box office. The film, which hit theatres on March 21, opened to a lukewarm response in India, with mixed reviews from audiences and critics.

On day one, Snow White managed to earn Rs 0.65 crore, failing to cross the Rs 1 crore mark — a sign of its underwhelming performance in the Indian market. The overall English occupancy for the film stood at 8.02% on Friday, with Hindi dubbed shows recording an even lower 5.17% occupancy.

However, the film saw a slight improvement on day two, owing to the weekend footfall, collecting approximately Rs 1.19 crore on Saturday. This brings the film’s two-day total in India to Rs 1.84 crore, according to box office tracking platform Sacnilk.

North American performance and budget

Globally, Snow White performed significantly better. As per industry reports, the film grossed US$15.5 million in North America on Friday, which includes US$3.5 million from Thursday night previews. Despite this, it still faces a steep climb to recover its reported budget of US$250–270 million, although the makers haven’t disclosed the official production cost.

About the film

Directed by Marc Webb, the film is a live-action adaptation of Disney’s 1937 classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The cast includes Rachel Zegler as Snow White, Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, along with Andrew Burnap, Martin Klebba, Ansu Kabia, and others in pivotal roles. The storyline follows Snow White’s journey as she allies with seven dwarfs to free her kingdom from her cruel stepmother.

With the weekend ongoing, Snow White may witness further minor growth, but early trends suggest the film is struggling to make a strong impact in Indian theatres.
