A.R. Murugadoss, the mastermind behind blockbusters like Ghajini and Holiday, has just shared an amusing and heartwarming throwback story about the first time he laid eyes on Salman Khan. The director, who’s all set to collaborate with Salman for the action-packed film Sikandar, took the audience by surprise during the trailer launch event with this quirky fan moment from his early days.
 
“I was just a struggling Assistant Director at the time, with big dreams and a smaller paycheck,” Murugadoss began, sending the crowd into a laugh. “I was desperate to watch a shoot, so I went to Prasad Studios in Chennai. I begged the security guard to let me in. After some convincing, he agreed, but on two conditions: I had to stay in a corner and not talk to anyone. Oh, and I had 20 minutes to watch. That was my VIP access!”
 
As Murugadoss stepped into the studio, his excitement was palpable. But what happened next, he says, is something he’ll never forget. "I don’t even remember what the shoot was about. All I remember is walking in to see Sridevi lit up in a full haze of dark smoke. And then… I saw him. The back of a hero. He was combing his hair. My heart raced as I tried to get a glimpse. And there he was—Salman Khan, the man who would one day become my leading man.”
 
Of course, being the eager fan he was, Murugadoss tried to take a step closer to catch a better look, but the vigilant security guard had other plans. “The guard saw me sneaking up, gave me the look, and I had to retreat. But as I stepped out, I made a silent promise to myself—one day, I’m going to direct this man.”
 
Fast forward to today, and that promise has turned into reality. Murugadoss is now all set to helm Sikandar, a thrilling action film starring none other than Salman Khan alongside Rashmika Mandanna. With the movie releasing on March 30, 2025, it’s a full-circle moment for the director who once dreamed of working with Salman, and now, he’s making it happen on the big screen.
 
A true testament to following your dreams—and sometimes, a little bit of chance!
