As 2025 begins, IMDb has released its list of the 20 most anticipated Indian films, with Salman Khan’s Sikandar taking the top spot. According to IMDb, this film is the most eagerly awaited among all the upcoming Indian movies.
The Raja Saab, War 2, and Toxic, despite their big stars and exciting premises, did not make it to the top of the list. Instead, Sikandar secured the number one position. Directed by AR Murugadoss, this action-packed entertainer marks his return to Hindi cinema after 17 years, his last Bollywood film being Ghajini in 2008. The film, which has a massive ₹400 crore budget, also features a star-studded cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi. Sikandar is slated for release in theaters in March 2025.
