How Is Sikandar Different from Ghajini?
Director A.R. Murugadoss described Sikandar in his explanation that the film extends beyond traditional mass entertainment. Sikandar tells a different story as it portrays the deep connection between spouses instead of the relationship between boyfriends and girlfriends in Ghajini. The director added, “The film explores how families work in today’s world, how couples treat each other, and what’s missing in modern relationships.
