Salman Meets His On-Stage Doppelgangers
In a standout segment of the promo, Salman Khan walks into a stage full of Bollywood impersonators, each mimicking the quirks of top actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and more. But the highlight? An impersonator dressed exactly like Radhe Bhaiyya, Salman’s unforgettable character from the cult classic Tere Naam.
The impromptu meeting sparks instant laughter. With his signature deadpan humor, Salman turns to his lookalike and asks: “Kaam dhanda accha chalra hai? Sikandar se koi farak to nahi pada?” (Translation: “Business going well? Sikandar didn’t affect you, right?”)
The impersonator simply smiled and nodded, drawing applause from the audience. The clever self-deprecating quip is a reference to Salman's latest release Sikandar.
Sikandar: A Commercial Hit, But Critically Panned
Released earlier this year, Sikandar raked in an impressive ₹121 crore at the Indian box office, making it one of the biggest commercial earners of the year. However, the film didn’t quite meet the towering expectations that usually come with a Salman Khan action entertainer. Critics panned it for a lackluster script and predictable action sequences, though fans still turned up in large numbers to support their favorite star.
Salman’s decision to joke about the film’s mixed reception on a comedy show reflects his growing comfort with owning the narrative and not shying away from public perception.
