After months of anticipation, Salman Khan has officially wrapped up filming for his upcoming action-drama "Sikandar", co-starring Rashmika Mandanna. Following the final shoot, the superstar bid farewell to the rugged bearded look he had maintained for the film, opting for his signature clean-shaven appearance.

"It was a patch-work sequence between Salman and Rashmika in Bandra, and the team finished the shoot around 8:30 PM. Right after the shoot, Salman cleaned his beard, which he had been keeping for his look in Sikandar. In real life, Salman always prefers a clean-shaven look."
