Rashmika Mandanna keeps her conversations with Salman Khan private: “It’s important to hold on to these connections”

Rashmika Mandanna, who is basking on recent success in Pushpa 2, is also gearing up for her next major projects, including ‘Sikandar’, alongside Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and ‘Chhaava’ starring Vicky Kaushal. In a recent interview, she shared insights about her experiences with both Salman and Vicky, emphasising the special connections she has formed with them.
During her conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Rashmika expressed her desire to keep her discussions with Salman Khan private. She stated, "Whatever Salman sir and I talk about will always remain between us. I think it’s important to hold on to these connections without flaunting them." Rashmika described working with Salman as a "dream come true," noting his humble and caring nature.


She recalled an incident when she fell ill on set; Salman immediately looked after her by ensuring she received healthy food and warm water. "He’s such a special person and so down-to-earth and grounded," she remarked, emphasizing how he made her feel valued during their time together.

Rashmika also reflected on the contrasting personalities of her co-stars. She described herself as both a sponge and a mirror, absorbing the energy of those around her and reflecting it back. This approach allows her to learn unique lessons from each collaboration. She noted that both Salman and Vicky Kaushal are genuinely nice individuals who create a comfortable work environment.
While discussing the differences between the two actors, Rashmika highlighted that despite their unique styles, both have shown kindness and warmth towards her. She feels grateful for these positive interactions, which contribute to her growth as an actress.

'Sikandar', directed by A.R. Murugadoss, is currently in production and is set to be released theatrically on Eid 2025. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Prateik Babbar, Sathyaraj, and Sharman Joshi alongside Rashmika and Salman 13. Rashmika has described this film as significant for her career, marking her first commercial Bollywood role where she feels she will truly embody the character of a "heroine"

In addition to 'Sikandar', Rashmika is also working on 'Chhaava', directed by Laxman Utekar. This film tells a bold historical story and stars Vicky Kaushal alongside Rashmika and Akshaye Khanna. Initially slated to release simultaneously with 'Pushpa 2', its date has now been moved to February 14, 2024.
