Sikandar: Salman Khan gears up to shoot 3 major fight scenes, including aerial action sequence for AR Murgadoss film; DEETS

Salman Khan, who was last seen in Tiger 3 alongside Katrina Kaif, is gearing up for the release of the upcoming film, Sikandar. Salman is playing dual roles in AR Murgadoss’ directorial and will perform action scenes in it. Reportedly, he is working with the action directors of Tom Cruise-starrer Mission Impossible. Now, according to the latest development of Sikandar, it is being reported that Salman will shoot for three action sequences along with an aerial scene in its next schedule.

According to a latest report by MidDay, AR Murgadoss is planning to execute three fight sequences in the upcoming schedule of Salman Khan-starre Sikandar. The next shooting schedule is said to be a crucial leg which will begin from August 26 at Chitrakoot Grounds in Mumbai.

The report further states that Murgadoss will have these action sequences with high-intensity stunts. The director is planning to mount them on a grand scale.

As per a source, the first sequence features an aerial action scene in which Salman will be “suspended from a height” and will engage in hand-to-hand combat. “Its choreography will blend aerial acrobatics with close-quarters combat,” the source added. The scene in discussion will also have special effects and is likely to be one of the most visually stunning elements of Salman’s film.

Earlier, it was reported that the makers of Sikandar are shooting an action sequence starting on August 22, for which they ordered nearly 10,000 bullets and pistols. It will be a 40-day long shoot schedule. The team wrapped up the first schedule of Salman Khan-starrer on July 1.

Rumor has it that Salman will collaborate with the stunt directors of the Hollywood film series, Mission Impossible for action sequences in Sikandar. Reportedly, the directors will design huge action sequences for the superstar in the action-packed thriller.

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson, Sikandar will be released on Eid 2025. Salman announced the film on the occasion of Eid this year on Instagram. The upcoming movie also features Rashmika Mandanna who is paired with Salman. Suniel Shetty and Prateik Babbar will play crucial roles in the film.

New Principal Of Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital Removed From Her Post

The newly appointed principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Suhrita Paul, has been removed from her post. The government’s move came after a delegation of students met officials at the Swasthya Bhavan.

The medical students had held a footmarch from the CGO Complex (CBI office) to Swasthya Bhavan and demanded that the new principal be removed. The protesting doctors had seconded the demand.

Her transfer is seen as a conciliatory gesture on part of the government, which had appointed the health ministry official to the post on August 12 – the day it also transferred RG Kar’s Sandip Ghosh to the premier Calcutta’s National Medical College.

That latter move had backfired, with stern criticism coming from the Calcutta High Court, escalation of student protests that started over the rape-murder of a young doctor on August 9 and drawing the attention of the Supreme Court.  

Like Sandip Ghosh at the National Medical College, Suhrita Paul did not gain acceptance of the protesting students and just three days after the appointment, had a face-off with them.  

After the midnight vandalism at the hospital on August 15, Suhrita Paul lost her cool with the students. As the protesting doctors demanded that she take immediate action regarding the midnight mob attack and meet the students’ demands, Ms Paul retorted, “If you can’t trust me for one hour then send me home also”.

The reference was to the fate of her predecessor Sandip Ghosh, who has been sent on a long leave by the Calcutta High Court, which was furious over his new posting less than 12 hours after his resignation.

“I need one hour to do some official work. You need to believe me, I won’t go. You have to believe me. If you can’t believe me then don’t expect anything from me,” Suhrita Paul had said.

The protesting doctors have made it clear that they are not willing to relent till their demands are met.
