With $1.5 billion, Ronnie Screwvala surpasses Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan’s combined wealth

Filmmaker Ronnie Screwborough has earned a net worth of US$1.5 billion on Forbes World's Billionaire list in 2025. This number exceeds the total assets of Shah Rukh Khan (US$770 million), Salman Khan (US$390 million), and Aamir Khan (US$220 million), totaling $1.38 billion. This milestone will be announced on April 2, 2025. 

From modest beginnings to the richest of Bollywood 
In contrast to Khans, where assets are from proxy and public personas, Screwvala built assets through production and enterprises. The 68-year-old was born in Mumbai and started a toothbrush company in the 1970s after completing a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Mumbai. His entry into entertainment took place in the cable television business, which benefited from the rise of Indian color television in the 1980s. In 1990 he founded UTV. UTV has become a leading player in Indian media under UTV motion images. 

Production loans from Screwvala include films such as Swades, Rank De Basanti and Jodhaa Akbar. In 2012, he sold UTV to Disney for over $1 billion, increasing his assets significantly. He later returned to filmmaking in 2017 with RSVP films, bringing successes like URI: The Surgical Strike and Kedarnath. 

Comparison of prosperity: Screwborough vs. Khan 
Shah Rukh Khans' $770 million net worth comes from his films Red Chillies Entertainment and the Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team. Salman Khan is a production company and has made US$390 million from acting, hosting Bigg Boss. Aamir Khan $220 million is associated with selective but high speed projects, including Dangal. Together, her USD 1.38 billion from Screwborough will be $1.5 billion.

Leaked print of Sikandar contains raw BGM, Kajal Aggarwal’s suicide attempt scene, extended interval block; Salman Khan’s ‘Ajeeb Dastaan’ shot is missing; anonymous Twitter handle had warned of leak 4 days before release

The industry was hit hard when it was revealed that HD prints from Sikandar had been leaked on the morning of March 30th. It was the same day the film was released. Plus, it wasn't the final cut for Salman Khan Star. Bollywood Hungama spoke to several sources in the industry to understand how this must have happened and what the Pirated Copies version of the content is. 


Pirated print vs. theater version 

Bollywood Hungama spoke to an industrial insider who happened to watch a copy of a film. He said: "There are several scenes in this film that are not part of the final film. The background rating is raw. After Sahumika Mandana's death), Sikandar meets her legal friend. This is when she learns what she wants to be a lawyer. Similarly, Kamaldin reviews fall to the ground due to lung disease. 

The industry continued: "Before Sikandar receives a call from the Pradhan Minister (Satyaraj) during interval points, the former male is informed that Kamaldin is not good. The recipient of the organ. 

The insider also added that this is not everything. There is a scene of Weidech trying to commit suicide. There is also a scene in Shikandar and Nisha's cars. The taxi driver is also shown to inform Sikandar that he has given passengers to Badham. The same passenger will later give a big order. 

The commercial source commented: In predatory pressure, it is not Iuria Vantour who sings "it was Gale." The original Waun Thi (1964)-Elg was retained. Furthermore, these additional scenes in the robber version are people who were voluntarily removed by the manufacturer after receiving the censorship certificate. Sikandar does not have a pirated copy to sing Ajeeb Dastaan. This film was added to the film when the terminology spontaneously diminished. This means that leaks were insider jobs and probably happened after the film was adopted by the CBFC. 

Who leaked the movie? 
Social media is full of theory. The red chili peppers that we worked on VFX are the source of the leak. Some speculate that Lawrence Bishnoy will be responsible. Salespeople who were conditioned on anonymity told me they needed to understand that film files were encrypted. It can only be opened in KDM. KDM is not a password. It's much more complicated. No one can access it without permission, even from the film team. There is a theory that it could have been triggered from overseas, but even in this case, the encrypted file will be sent. It is very rare that a national censorship committee can ask for a Vimeo file instead of an encrypted version if the screening room is not available. But it happened in Sikandar. Only creators will know this. 

The Post-Production Supervisor revealed that encrypted files are only sent when the film is converted to 4DX. However, Sikandar didn't even have 4DX or MX4D publications. 

The final words 

The experienced producer sighed: Has anyone known someone who leaked Uttapanjab or Urgland Masti? So I suspect that the perpetrator who leaked Sikandar has been caught. This time it was shocking to read that an anonymous Twitter handle sent a warning and threatened to release the film's pressure. This happened four days before the publication. This is unprecedented and also indicates that these troublemakers need to be brought into the task. At the same time, all future film makers need to ensure that pirates don't get the opportunity to put the pressure they've leaked to the internet.

Massive CRASH for Sikandar on Day 4: Just Rs. 9 cr. and a shocking 55% fall from Tuesday

After collecting paragraphs over three days, 82.17 Kroul led Salman Khan Sikandar, produced by Salman Nadiadwara. It is estimated that the Sikandar collection crashed at Rs. On the fourth day, the entire collection of 9 kroner, about. Rs. 91 crores. It's down about 55% since Tuesday, and even this number has appeared in the Mass Belt for oath. 

Sikandar falls into Rs. The 100 Croix Club is open until Friday, but this is no longer a benchmark. The film is Salman Khan's flop company given the box office revenue and high standards of Young People and Shah Lukhan over the past two years. Sikandar's lifelong business in India is expected to be rupee. 130 crores. This is just a dark consequence of the Salman Khan film about the oath. 

His star power brought an audience in three days, but dated content, sub-average sums and poor word reviews led to a low collection. Interestingly, Sikandar's lifetime collection could be half of Salman Khan and Said Nadia Dwara's final film "Kick," released in 2014. 

Sikandar is the perfect case of a large budget film not going well, and along with the leading hero Salman Khan, you need to share negligence across the creative and product team. Sikandar's business will be running over the next five days, but from Monday, the film will be able to compete with audiences due to poor word-of-mouth. It's time for Salman to reinvent it.

Sikandar Box Office Estimate Day 3: Salman Khan starrer collects Rs. 22 crores on Tuesday

  Salman Khan gave Sikandar  a good commitment to the collection as early estimates in the region on the third day are suggested in the region of Rs. From 22 rupees to rupees. 24 crores. This means that the opening weekend is a total of  86 Rs. Rs. 86, and the film will become the 17th Marman Khan film and enter the club at Rs. 100  at the box office in India. 


Other actors in the history of Indian cinema did not have an uncontroversial stage of  10 films even at the Rs 100 Crore club. Salman Khan has risen in 17 consecutive films, but the club's relevance  is slowly beginning to fade. Sikandar will be taking part in Rs 100 Crore Club in 5 days. This is  a great performance for a typical film, but a rather boring show for a film with Salman Khan. 


Business is very good on individual screens and non-national chains, but  multiplexes  show cracks. That means  the film doesn't have long legs to fail at the box office and end up failing. The film needs to have the largest audience by Sunday as it has  little movement in terms of food and numbers after post-post. 


The Netrals no longer came out to watch the movie about the opening weekend, so the film is driven over the shoulders of Salman Khan fans. I'm now turning to Wednesday's test.

Sikandar Box Office: Salman Khan surpasses Akshay Kumar; film surpasses Sky Force to become second highest opening day grosser of 2025

Directors A.R. Salman Khans Sikandar Murugadoss and Rashmika Mandanna had an impressive impact on the box office revenue. The film was released on Sunday and drove at Rs. It secured its position as the second highest first day of 2025 at 30.06 crores on the first day. Despite expectations for a somewhat strong start, the film business is expected to grow significantly on Eid's holidays. 
 
 This achievement led to the Sky Force of Sikandar Akshay Kumar held at Rs. It is located just behind Chhaava, who currently ranks number one in the opening collection of Rs at 3:30pm Crore and Chhaava. 33.10 crores. The big difference in the number of Sikandar and other 2025 publications highlights Salman Khan's continued domination at the box office. When comparing Sikandar with other important publications this year, the performance stands out. The third-highest opener, Sky Force, scored less than half the Sikandar button, showing a significant gap from Star Power and The Audiess. In the meantime, Game Changer opened at Ram Charan for Rs. 6.75 crores, Shahid Kapoors Deva continued with Rs. 5.78 crores. Further down the list, the diplomats, Badas Rabbi Kumar and Fate, saw an opening with a fairly low number between Rs. 4.03 crores and rupees. 2.61 crores. Emergency and mere husband Kibiwi struggled to exceed Rs. 2 crawl mark. This further highlights the differences in performance on the first day. A strong start for Sikandar is evidence of the consistent cash relationship between Salman Khan, especially during the festive season. Chaava has maintained its highest position for the time being, but the holiday season is long and positive words in the mouth can give Sikandal an opportunity to fill the gap. If the film maintains its dynamics, it can create the film with the best influence of the year in the long run. 

As the audience responds positively and trading experts predict upward movement, Sikandar is on track to become one of its biggest goals from 2025. The next few days will be important to determine whether a new record can be set beyond Chava, but it will remain the dominant force that can be demonstrated at the box office.

Top 10 Highest Opening Day Grossers of 2025


Chhaava – Rs. 33.10 cr
Sikandar – Rs. 30.06 cr
Sky Force – Rs. 15.30 cr
