Meanwhile, Sikandar has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a UA 13+ rating. As per Bollywood Hungama, the makers have been instructed to mute the word “Home” from “Home Minister” at the beginning of the film and in all other instances where it appears. Furthermore, the report states that the makers have been asked to blur the visuals of a political party hoarding. However, no visual cuts have been made.
Recently, Salman wearing the limited edition Ram Janmabhoomi watch during the promotions of his upcoming film, Sikandar sparked controversy. The President of All India Muslim Jamaat, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, criticised the actor, stating that promoting non-Islamic symbols is forbidden (haram) in Islam.
Bareilvi told ANI, “Such actions are unjustifiable and forbidden. The person involved should seek forgiveness (toba) and ensure they don’t repeat this mistake. I advise Salman Khan to respect Islamic law (Shariah) and follow its principles. Wearing and promoting the ‘Ram Edition’ watch is akin to promoting idols or non-Islamic religious symbols, which is unjustifiable and forbidden according to Islamic law. He should refrain from this and seek forgiveness.”
