New Delhi: While the teaser release of Sikandar was postponed after the demise of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the much-awaited clip was finally released on Saturday, much to the excitement of fans. Originally scheduled for release on December 27 in celebration of Salman Khan’s 59th birthday, the teaser has garnered instant attention, especially for a powerful dialogue that has enthralled social media users.
The line, “Heard a lot of people are after me… It’s just too late for me to turn,” has particularly enthralled fans and captured their minds. Here’s how they’re reacting to it.
One fan wrote, “#Sikander – ‘Heard a lot of people are after me…it’s too late for me to turn.’ Is this line for Bishnoi and his gang? If he doesn’t take the name then he becomes famous. Nice teaser, liked it.
#Alexander – “I heard that a lot of people are after me…it’s time for me to turn.”
Is this line for Bishnoi and his gang?
If brother doesn’t take name then he becomes famous, right?

Others expressed similar sentiments and described the dialogue as personal and powerful. “Heard a lot of people are after me, it’s just time for me to turn,” one fan said, questioning whether the Sikandar team had subtly roasted the Bishnoi gang and then added, “That dialogue It was very impressive, it felt very personal and powerful!”

Some fans speculated that Salman Khan’s line was a direct attack on controversial figures like KRK and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with one writing, “Heard a lot of people are after me, it’s just too late for me to turn. It was personal to me.” Looks like Salman is roasting KRK and Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the teaser.
