Salman Khan’s “Sikandar” and the Unseen Language Barrier

The journey of a film from script to screen often involves unforeseen hurdles. For Salman Khan’s “Sikandar,” one such challenge emerged from a language divide between the star and the director.

The film’s Tamil director recently opened up about the difficulties faced during production. Not fully conversant with Hindi, the language in which the script was written, the director admitted to being unsure about the nuances and details within the script. This communication gap ultimately played a part in the film’s less-than-stellar performance.
