In a stunning development, Sikandar, the high-profile action drama starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, has suffered an estimated Rs. 91 crore loss due to piracy. This staggering figure emerged from an internal audit conducted by Ernst & Young (EnY), commissioned by producers Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. (NGEPL). According to sources, the production house is now preparing to file Bollywood’s largest-ever digital piracy insurance claim. 🔍 Key Audit Findings: 🎬 Leaked Deleted Scenes (Not in Theatres): 🧾 Insurance Claim – A First in Scale NGEPL reportedly holds a digital piracy insurance policy, rarely seen in Indian cinema at this magnitude. This move, if successful, would set a major precedent for film studios to seek recovery from piracy-induced losses through structured insurance mechanisms. An industry expert remarked: “This isn’t just about recovering money — it’s about signaling that piracy has legal and financial consequences. Filing a Rs. 91 crore claim sends a loud message to the industry and pirates alike.” 📅 Sikandar – Still on Track? Despite the massive leak, the film’s theatrical run has seen strong support from Salman Khan’s loyal fanbase. However, the damage caused to digital and international rights valuations could have long-term consequences for the franchise and the studio’s recovery plan.

Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated film Sitaare Zameen Par has hit a major snag ahead of its Indian release, with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) demanding two specific cuts — a move the actor-producer has firmly declined. According to sources close to the production, Aamir Khan believes that every scene in the film, including the ones flagged by the CBFC, carries significant emotional and narrative weight. He maintains that altering or deleting them would compromise the film’s message and storytelling integrity. As a result, the certification process has stalled, delaying the movie’s Indian release. In response to the deadlock, Aamir is reportedly planning to meet CBFC officials personally to explain the creative intent behind the scenes in question and advocate for the film’s release without edits. Interestingly, Sitaare Zameen Par has already received clearance in the United Kingdom. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has granted it a 12A rating, noting that the film contains references to discrimination and mild sexual content, but is overall suitable for public screening with parental guidance. Directed by R.S. Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan along with Aparna Purohit, Sitaare Zameen Par is described as a spiritual successor to 2007’s Taare Zameen Par. The film stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh and is an official adaptation of the 2018 Spanish hit Campeones. It tells the story of a hot-headed basketball coach who is ordered to coach a team of players with disabilities as part of his community service, leading to moments of transformation and triumph. As the standoff with the CBFC continues, fans are now anxiously waiting to see whether the board will yield to Aamir’s creative plea — or whether the film will have to undergo changes before hitting Indian theatres.
