Actor Salman Khan is not causing any delay in his work commitments even though he seems to have got a lot on his plate right now. Amid the death threats issued by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, the actor has resumed the shooting of his upcoming film, Sikandar. India Today digital spoke to sources close to the production who mentioned that the actor began the shoot on Tuesday, October 22.

"Salman Khan is fully committed to his work. He has been shooting for Bigg Boss 18 with high-level security, and has now moved to shooting Sikandar. His entire team is being careful about the security arrangements and Salman himself has been making sure that no one suffers a delay because of him," the source said, adding, "he is likely to be shooting continuously till Diwali, which is next week."

Sikandar is one of Salman's most anticipated films. "The actor has not delayed or postponed any of his work commitments yet. He is putting in a lot of effort into delivering a quality film to his fans and is following everything as per the originally designed schedule by the film's team," the source continued.

Sikandar marks a notable big screen return for Salman after Tiger 3, which was released last year during Diwali. It also features Rashmika Mandanna, Suniel Shetty, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Anjini Dhawan, Prateik Babbar and Sathyaraj, among others. Directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film is looking at a grand Eid release next year, on March 30, 2025.
