Overview
- A.R. Murugadoss said Salman Khan repeatedly turned up late on Sikandar, pushing even day scenes into the night and keeping child actors on set until 2 a.m.
- A director who previously worked with Salman alleged he arrives around 2–3 p.m. for morning shifts, with filming often not starting before 5 p.m.
- Producers such as Sajid Nadiadwala were cited as accommodating the actor’s timetable, which critics say perpetuates indiscipline.
- Historical fallout resurfaced as reports noted Sanjay Leela Bhansali shelved Inshallah in 2019 and later declined a 2022 proposal to direct Salman with Shah Rukh Khan.
- Coverage places the issue in a long pattern of superstar tardiness contrasted with punctual peers like Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar, and no public rebuttal from Salman was reported.
