The trailer of Sikandar, starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, was finally unveiled yesterday, March 23, at a grand event in Mumbai. As expected, the trailer is packed with lots of entertainment and mass moments. However, it ends on a very unexpected note. It features shots of Rashmika singing the classic song ‘Lag Ja Gale’ and it’s interspersed with Salman fighting baddies.
REVEALED: Iulia Vantur is the voice behind ‘Lag Ja Gale’ in Salman Khan-starrer Sikandar
Many assumed that Rashmika Mandanna herself has sung the song. Bollywood Hungama has learned that its actually Iulia Vantur who has lent her voice for the said portion. This is not the first time that she has sung for a Salman Khan-starrer. Earlier, she crooned two songs in Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai (2021) – ‘Seeti Maar’ and ‘Zoom Zoom’. She also sang ‘Selfish’ and ‘Party Chale On’ in Race 3 (2018).
This is also not the first time that Iulia Vantur has sung the recreated version of a classic. In 2023, she released ‘Raat Baki’, composed by Sajid Khan of Sajid-Wajid fame. The original song was sung by Asha Bhosle in Namak Halaal (1982). ‘Lag Ja Gale’, on the other hand, was originally used in Woh Kaun Thi (1964) and was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
At the trailer launch of Sikandar on Sunday, March 23, Salman Khan revealed that Rashmika’s ‘Lag Ja Gale’ portion is the best part of the trailer, according to him. He even hummed a few lines and encouraged members of the media to sing along with him. As expected, it made for a great moment spread like wild fire on the internet. Also present at the launch were actors Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj and Anjini Dhawan, producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director A R Murugadoss.
Sikandar releases in cinemas across the world on the occasion of Eid. The festival will be celebrated on Monday, March 31 while the film arrives in cinemas on Sunday, March 30.
