Vikas Verma, known for his performances in Judwaa 2, MOM, Coolie No. 1, and more, is all set to level up his game in Sajid Nadiadwala’s Sikandar—starring none other than Salman Khan. And the story behind how he landed the role? Straight-up Bollywood magic
In Sikandar, Vikas plays a key, impactful role, standing right beside Salman Khan throughout the film. He’s not just a part of the story—he’s an essential force in Salman’s world, making his presence impossible to ignore.
When Sikandar was announced, Vikas knew he HAD to be part of it. No second thoughts, no plan B—he shot a message to Sajid Nadiadwala in April, saying he was ready for any role, no matter how small. Cut to a few months later, and guess what? Sajid made it happen, casting him at the last moment!
For Vikas, Sajid Nadiadwala is a godfather in Bollywood. Sikandar marks his third big film under the Nadiadwala Grandson banner, proving that talent, persistence, and the right mentor can truly change the game.
Visionary director AR Murugadoss was beyond impressed with Vikas’ dedication and acting chops. After 90 intense days on set, when Vikas took a picture with Murugadoss, the director had nothing but high praise for his performance.
”Being part of Sikandar feels surreal. It’s not just another film for me—it’s a dream that turned into reality. Working alongside Salman Khan and under the vision of AR Murugadoss has been an incredible learning experience. Sajid sir has always believed in me, and I’m grateful for yet another opportunity to prove myself. This role challenged me in ways I never imagined, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it on the big screen,” adds Vikas Verma.
