Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has showered praise on his Sikandar co-star Rashmika Mandanna, admiring her dedication and work ethic.

In a recent conversation with Aamir Khan and Sikandar director A.R. Murugadoss, Salman spoke about Rashmika’s relentless commitment to her craft.

RASHMIKA’S TIRELESS WORK SCHEDULE

During their discussion, Aamir—who often forgets names—asked Salman about Sikandar’s female lead. Salman responded, “Rashmika Mandanna, she is very hardworking. I remember in Hyderabad, she was shooting with us from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am. Then, she would get ready for her next shoot—I think it was for Pushpa 2: The Rule. Even when she had a fever, she would film all day for Pushpa 2 and then come back to shoot with us.”

He further added, “The only time she had to rest was during the car rides between locations. That reminded me of my early days in the industry. We all have done two or even three shifts back then.”

SALMAN REUNITES WITH SOORAJ BARJATYA

Apart from Sikandar, Salman revealed that he will soon collaborate again with director Sooraj Barjatya, the man behind his biggest family dramas. Speaking at a media event in Mumbai, Salman confirmed the project but kept the title under wraps.

This announcement has thrilled fans who grew up watching Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, two of Salman’s most beloved films. While Maine Pyar Kiya launched his career, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! became a record-breaking family entertainer and remains popular even three decades after its release.

Salman’s upcoming projects, including Sikandar, are expected to continue his legacy of box office dominance.
