Salman Khan responded sharply to AR Murugadoss' claims about the failure of their film *Sikandar*, which flopped at the box office. Salman dismissed Murugadoss' explanations about shooting delays caused by Salman arriving late on set and the extensive night shoots with green screen effects. He took a jab at Murugadoss, implying that if *Sikandar* failed due to his ethics, then what about Murugadoss' own film *Madharaasi*, which also did poorly. Salman suggested Murugadoss avoided accountability by shifting blame and moving on quickly to his next project in South cinema. Salman also took a pointed dig at filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap for his recent allegations against him and other major actors, rhetorically asking Kashyap, "Kaam mila kya bhai?" (Have you got any work?), expressing disappointment that Kashyap's remarks might isolate him further in the industry. However, Salman acknowledged Kashyap's talent and urged him to focus on his craft rather than controversies[3][5][7]. AR Murugadoss had earlier attributed *Sikandar*'s failure to his lack of understanding of Hindi language and culture, which made it hard to connect with the Indian youth. He admitted the story was emotional and had potential but acknowledged poor execution hurt the film. He also spoke candidly about the challenges filming with Salman, including last-minute schedule changes and technical difficulties involving extensive VFX[4][6][2]. Thus, the controversy involved Salman hitting back at accusations from both Murugadoss and Kashyap, rejecting blame for the film's failure and criticizing their public comments. The dispute highlights tensions around *Sikandar*'s underperformance and industry relations after the film's release[3][5][7].
