In addition to Sikandar, Salman Khan is currently hosting Bigg Boss 18 and is also gearing up for his return in Kick 2, another collaboration with Sajid Nadiadwala.
The decision to delay the teaser of this film came in with respect to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as he passed away on December 26. Singh was aged 92 years at his death and died at AIIMS New Delhi because of age-related sicknesses. He was a well-known politician in India who led the country for two terms as prime minister from 2004 to 2014 and was instrumental in putting the revolutionary New Economic Policy of 1991 into practice. Singh is a highly esteemed politician and economist whose contributions continue to influence India’s economic environment.
