‘She reminds me a lot of younger me’: Salman Khan praises Rashmika Mandanna’s dedication towards work

MUMBAI: Salman Khan was all praise for Rashmika Mandanna after working with her in his upcoming film ‘Sikandar.’ The actor shared his experience of working with Rashmika and said that the actress’s dedication towards work reminded him of his younger self.

Rashmika will be seen opposite Salman in the film ‘Sikandar,’ directed by AR Murugadoss and slated to hit theatres on March 30.

During the media interaction at the trailer launch event of Sikandar, the ‘Dabangg’ actor praised Rashmika for her hard work in the film despite being unwell. He detailed the tough schedule of the actress as she was managing the shooting of Pushpa 2 and Sikandar simultaneously.

“Mandanna has given her best (in Sikandar). She was shooting for Pushpa 2. She used to finish shooting at 7 and join us at 9 in the evening. She used to be working with us till 6.30 in the morning and then she used to go back to Pushpa shooting in the morning. She was not well as well. And then after she broke her leg. She still shot with us and did not cancel a single day. She reminds me a lot of me, younger me.”

Rashmika has been on a success spree after her last three films—Animal, Chaava and Pushpa 2—were back-to-back blockbuster hits at the box office.
The actress will now be seen in another probable blockbuster film ‘Sikandar’ with Salman Khan. The makers revealed the trailer today.

The trailer shows Salman Khan in action mode. It is a complete package of romance, stunts, dialogues and dance numbers.

The three-minute long trailer portrays Salman in his iconic, larger-than-life character. He is introduced as ‘Rajkot ka Raja’, and Rashmika’s character is seen saying that he often beats someone and returns home.

She also says that he has been called by several names like Sikandar, Raja Sahab or Sanjay Sahab. Salman’s portrayal of Sikandar is as raw as it is powerful. Assigned to a specific case, he landed in Mumbai, where he was seen fighting the goons. While Salman shines in action mode, Rashmika adds charm in romantic sequences. (ANI)
