Veteran actor Sathyaraj shared his excitement about meeting renowned screenwriter Salim Khan at the Sikandar trailer launch on March 23. Recalling the moment, he revealed that Salman Khan introduced him to his father in a rather special way—by referencing his iconic Baahubali character. Sathyaraj, who plays the main antagonist in Salman’s upcoming Eid release, described the encounter as a personal highlight of the event.
Speaking to the media, Sathyaraj expressed his admiration for Salim Khan’s legendary work, stating, “The happiest thing that happened today for me is that I got to meet Salim ji and saab (Salman) introduced me to him, saying, ‘Papa, Kattapaa’. I’m very happy because when I was studying in college, I knew that Salim-Javed sahab made so many (actors) heroes with their script.”
He went on to emphasize how much the meeting meant to him, adding, “So, this is a great opportunity. More than acting with Salman ji, it’s a great opportunity to meet Salim ji.” Expressing his gratitude, Sathyaraj also acknowledged filmmaker AR Murugadoss for giving him the chance to portray the main villain in Sikandar, making the project even more special for him.
