Sikandar Ka Muqaddar: Movie Overview

Director Neeraj Pandey said the title of his upcoming film “Sikandar Ka Muqaddar” is inspired by the 1978 movie “Muqaddar Ka Sikandar”, headlined by megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Featuring Avinash Tiwary in the lead role, this is a high-octane crime thriller and also stars Tamannaah Bhatia and Jimmy Sheirgill. It will start streaming on Netflix from November 29.

Pandey said filmmaker Prakash Jha’s superhit film “Muqaddar Ka Sikandar”, also starring Raakhee, Vinod Khanna, and Rekha, is one of his childhood favourites.

“That was the reason why we had this title, because it’s a play on a film that I grew up on. I loved it. Our entire generation loved that film. In a way, it’s a tribute to that particular film, but nothing to do in terms of genre,” the director told reporters here at the trailer launch.

Pandey, known for directing movies such as “A Wednesday“, “Special 26“, “Baby” as well as web series “Special Ops“, said he did regular readings with all three actors before starting shooting for the film.

“They were primed and prepped to land on set and just deliver what was asked from them. It can only happen when you are prepared to that degree. Everybody was on their toes,” he added.

Movie marks a reunion between Tiwary and Pandey after Netflix’s 2022 show “Khakee: The Bihar Chapter” on which the filmmaker served as creator.
