According to sources, even Sanjay Leela Bhansali wanted to sign Sikandar for "Saawariyan", but Gupta stuck luck to launch him in "Woodstock Villa".
The director was so impressed by the youngster that he told his mother Kirron, "Your son is a star, nothing can stop him."
Sikander is said to be in the mould of actors like Vinod Khanna, Dharmendra and Sanjay Dutt who possessed 'Animal magnetism' and even before his debut release, he's got the biggest fan following among girls.
Sikandar has already signed two other big banner films.
