Rashmika Mandanna, riding high on the massive success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, is now gearing up for her next big project, Sikandar, alongside Bollywood megastar Salman Khan. In a recent interview with India Today, the actress opened up about her excitement working with “Sallu Bhai” and shared a touching story that reflects Salman Khan’s thoughtful nature.

Salman Khan’s Kindness Shines on Set

Recalling her time on the sets of Sikandar, Rashmika revealed how Salman Khan’s caring attitude made a lasting impression on her. She recounted a moment when she fell ill during the shoot, and the superstar went out of his way to ensure her comfort.

“He is such a special person and incredibly humble. When I wasn’t feeling well, he noticed and immediately instructed the crew to bring me proper food, hot water, and everything I needed,” Rashmika shared. “He genuinely cares about the people around him. Despite being one of the biggest stars in the country, he remains so down to earth and thoughtful.”

A Stellar Eid Release on the Way

Directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar is set for an Eid 2025 release. Reports suggest that Salman and Rashmika have already recorded a festive song for the movie, with plans to shoot two more songs in Europe later this year. Rumor has it that the much-awaited first-look poster of Sikandar will drop on Salman Khan’s birthday, December 27, building even more anticipation among fans.
