After being a part of Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Animal’, Rashmika Mandanna is set to now be seen in two Hindi movies in 2025. She’s currently enjoying the humungous success of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’. Rashmika will be seen next year in ‘Chhava’ alongside Vicky Kaushal and Salman Khan starrer ‘Sikandar’. She’s teaming up with Salman for the first time and is quite excited. While she did not reveal details about the film or her role, in a recent interview she has opened up on the experience of working with Khan.

“He’s such a special person and so down-to-earth and grounded. I was not well on set when we were shooting. The moment he found out about it, he asked me if I was okay and told the crew to get me healthy food, warm water, and everything,” said Rashmika in a chat with India Today.

She further added, “He really takes care of you and makes you feel special. I mean, he’s one of the biggest stars in the country, but he’s so humble and down-to-earth.”

‘Sikandar’ is directed by AR Murugadoss. Meanwhile, ‘Chhava’ sees her play the role Yesubai as the film is a biopic on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.

But at the moment, ‘Pushpa 2’ is stealing all the limelight as the film has crossed Rs 700 crore nett in India.
