As the investigation into the Baba Siddique case continues, threats surrounding Salman Khan persist. However, the superstar remains firm in his decision to keep the Sikandar shoot on schedule. According to media reports, the next leg of A.R. Murugadoss’s much-awaited film is set to begin next week. While the last two schedules were shot at SRPF Grounds in Mumbai, sources from the production reveal that the team has opted for new locations for the upcoming phase of filming.

To prevent any security breaches, the details of the upcoming shooting locations will be kept strictly confidential, with only a select few being informed. This move is part of the enhanced safety measures implemented for Sikandar in light of the ongoing threats surrounding Salman Khan.

"Earlier, the plan was to shoot in Hyderabad, but the team has decided to finish the Mumbai leg first. New locations are being zeroed in on for this stint. A week of robust shooting has been planned, where leading lady Rashmika Mandanna will can her portions with the superstar before she flies down south to finish her work on Pushpa 2: The Rule" claimed by a source close to Midday.

He further added " The number of security personnel will be increased, while that of people on set might be reduced. Intensive security measures—like thorough checking of people stepping on the set, and securing the venue—will be put into place. Salman doesn’t want the production to be halted."

Salman Khan and Baba Siddique shared a close bond spanning decades, with the politician famously playing peacemaker between the actor and Shah Rukh Khan at his star-studded 2013 Iftar party. Now, as the murder investigation unfolds, sources suggest that Siddique's close ties with Salman are being considered a key factor behind his assassination on October 12. The Mumbai Crime Branch is reportedly viewing the incident as a chilling warning from Lawrence Bishnoi's gang to anyone associated with the superstar.
