Suddenly, camera zooms on to the twist. Statues of soldiers go live. The intrigue is out in the open. The live soldier statues load their guns to go blazing at Sikandar.
At the same tame Sikandar stops, and says the punch line----
“Suna Hai Bohot Saare Log Mere Peeche Pade hain… Bus Mere Mudne Ki Der hai…”
(Heard many persons are on my prowl.. But it’s the time for me to turnaround)
And then comes the faceoff scene, Sikandar in his stylised arm fight killed all the enemies at his back.
And then Sikandar aka Salman gives his victory swag – thumping the firearm on his thighs and exults!

WHAT SUBTLE MESSAGE IT HOLDS?
