Vindu Dara Singh Defends Salman Khan Against AR Murugadoss Late Arrival Claims

In Mumbai, actor Vindu Dara Singh has defended Bollywood superstar Salman Khan against claims made by director AR Murugadoss regarding the actor's work ethic. Murugadoss reportedly blamed Khan's alleged late arrivals on set for the underwhelming box office performance of their collaborative film, *Sikandar*.
Singh publicly disputed these allegations, strongly defending Khan's punctuality and professionalism. The actor dismissed the claims that Khan is habitually late to film sets, which had been cited as a reason for the movie's failure.
The debate surrounding Khan's work ethic has continued to make headlines after *Sikandar* failed to impress audiences at the box office. Director AR Murugadoss reportedly blamed the superstar for the film's disappointing performance, alleging that the actor would arrive late on set during production.
In response to these accusations, Singh, who has shared screen space with Khan in multiple projects, came out in support of the Bollywood star. During an interview with Kadak, Singh strongly refuted the claims that Khan is habitually late.
Singh defended Khan by stating, "Ye galat baat hai ki Salman late aata hai," expressing that it is incorrect to say that Salman arrives late. Singh supported his defense by highlighting his own extensive experience working alongside the actor on various movie sets.
"Maine Salman ke saath 5-6 pictures ki hai," Singh noted, pointing out that he has worked on five to six films with Khan. Based on this history of working together, Singh dismissed the allegations regarding Khan's punctuality.
While *Sikandar* did not perform well at the box office, the film remains a topic of discussion due to this dispute over Khan's conduct on set. Director AR Murugadoss has blamed Khan's timing for the film's outcome, while Singh has firmly stood by the actor to dispute those claims.
