AR Murugadoss, one of the celebrated directors known for his blockbusters, is currently handling Sivakarthikeyan's highly anticipated project, 'SK 23'. Recently, it was officially announced that Murugadoss would direct the next venture of Salman Khan.

Tentatively titled 'Sikander,' this Salman Khan-AR Murugadoss film will release on screens next year during the holy month of Ramzan.

While the film gears up to go on floors soon, speculation is rife as to who the film's leading lady is. Well, reliable sources have intimated that Kiara Advani will be the lead lady opposite the hero in 'Sikander.' Bollywood and the Telugu film industry recognize her for her versatile acting. Interestingly, she is also set to star in Shankar's highly anticipated project, 'Game Changer.'

There were murmurs earlier that Trisha Krishnan could play this role, but recent leaks suggest otherwise. So, will she then play another significant role in the movie? Well, only time will tell. In more exciting news, it is almost taken for granted that Salman Khan is a double-role player in the movie 'Sikander,' which sets an extra dose of excitement for the fans—snowballing anticipation, with open eyes on the official announcement of the cast and crew of this one. Keep an eye out for more exciting updates in the coming days.
