Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is all set to make a roaring comeback with 'Sikandar' next year. The 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' actor has had a tough time of late when it comes to the box office as his previous few films such as 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' and 'Tiger 3' underperformed at the box office. In the latest entertainment news, the makers of 'Sikandar' on Thursday announced that 'Baahubali' actor Sathyaraj, who played the role of Katappa in the SS Rajamouli-directorial, has been roped in to play a key role in the Hindi film.
Apart from Sathyaraj, the makers have also confirmed the casting of Prateik Babbar.
"We're elated to welcome you on board #Sathyaraj sir! Honoured to have you in team #Sikandar. Happy to collaborate with our very own @prateikbabbar once again! And we can't wait for everyone to experience this cinematic excellence on the big screens," the official social media handle of Nadiadwala Grandson wrote.
