In February 2024, it was reported that Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala would begin production on a film, nearly a decade on from their last collaboration Kick (2014): A.R. Murugadoss was then reported to be the film's director.[4][5] It marks the first film between Khan and Murugadoss, who initially pitched the lead role of Ghajini (2008) to Khan.[7] Nadiadwala and Murugadoss both recruited Khan for Sikandar.[4][5]
The film was announced by Khan on his social media platforms on Eid al-Fitr in April 2024, and expressed his excitement about collaborating with Murugadoss and Nadiadwala.[8] The film was scheduled to be filmed soon thereafter across multiple countries, including Portugal and other European countries, throughout 2024-25 but was cancelled due to Murugadoss' commitments to Madharasi (2025).[4][5][9] Murugadoss eventually worked on Sikandar and Madharasi simultaneously until June 2024,[8][8] although, he completed significant portions of Madharasi before continuing on Sikandar.[8] With an estimated production budget of ₹200 crore,[4] Sikandar is the most expensive film produced by Nadiadwala and one of the most expensive Indian films of all time.[4][5]
In May 2024, Rashmika Mandanna was announced as the female lead opposite Khan, marking their first collaboration.[10] Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar were cast soon thereafter.[11][12] In September, Sharman Joshi, Kajal Aggarwal and Anjini Dhawan were hired,[13][14][15] and one month later, Kishore also joined the cast.[16]
Principal photography commenced on 19 June 2024, with aerial-based action sequences shot in Mumbai.[17] An action sequence between Khan and Babbar was filmed in July,[18] and in August, further action sequences, including gun fights and hand-to-hand action sequences, were shot over a period of 40 days across Mumbai.[19] For these sequences, it was reported that sets worth ₹15 crore were created to resemble Dharavi and Matunga.[20] In September, Khan sustained a rib injury during filming.[21] Filming resumed later that month, with a song involving Khan, Mandanna and 200 background dancers being filmed.[22] However, filming was again halted, due to heavy rains across Mumbai.[23]
Filming was further halted due to security concerns after Khan received death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi, with a shooting also reported near Khan's home.[24] After increasing on-set security, principal photography resumed in November, with filming taking place in Falaknuma Palace.[25][26] Two songs featuring Qawwali and Holi-style themes were reportedly also filmed.[27] Action sequences involving a train and 350 extras was then filmed on elaborate sets recreating Borivali and Mumbai Suburban.[28] In January 2025, the film's final filming period began in Mumbai,[29] with four action sequences shot, reportedly including aircraft, trains, and sets resembling a prison and a hospital.[30]
The film's music rights were acquired by Zee Music Company. The film's songs are composed by Pritam[31] while the background score is composed by Santhosh Narayanan.[32] The first single, "Zohra Jabeen", was released on 4 March 2025.[33]
