Overview

• In new interviews, Sikandar co-star Ayaan Lall says Salman Khan “never used to come 8 hours late,” citing his own 12–13 days on set as reference.
• Lall recalls arriving around 3 pm and typically being called to shoot by 5 pm, saying Khan was present by then and that waiting was largely for set preparation.
• He frames occasional 5–10 minute or 1–2 hour delays as understandable given Khan’s off-set responsibilities, noting the actor’s recent donations for Punjab flood relief.
• Lall highlights a travelling “Being Stronger” food truck that serves the same meals to the entire crew at any hour, which he describes as Khan’s crew-first practice.
• His comments counter director AR Murugadoss’s earlier account of late arrivals and overnight shoots with heavy VFX, as Sikandar’s box office total of ₹184.6 crore trailed its reported ₹200 crore budget and Khan now films Battle of Galwan with no release date announced.
