Nadiawala’s production company, Nadiadwala Grandson, announced the good news on its X handle. “Welcoming the fabulous @iamRashmika to star opposite @BeingSalmanKhan in #Sikandar! Can't wait for their on-screen magic to unfold on EID 2025!..” read the post.
Reacting to the post, Mandanna tweeted, “You guys for a long time have been asking me for the next update and here it is…. Surprise!! I am truly grateful and honoured to be a part of #Sikandar…” wrote the ‘Pushpa’ actress.
Netizens Call Out The New Pairing
The post went viral gaining more than 250K views on the microblogging site and 2.4K likes. While some welcomed the movie, others were skeptical at the new pairing, calling out the huge age gap. “This is a pathetic casting from a pair pov. I mean come on look at the age difference for once. She is not even half of Salman's age…” wrote one X user. “Man, she is 28 only. Huge age gap. Should have chosen from Kajal, Trisha, Tamanna..any 30+ actresses. Anyone but her. This is gonna backfire like disha patani in Radhe..” observed another.
“28-year-old paired with 58-year-old criminal..” complained another user.
The movie is scheduled to hit the theatres on Eid 2025. It will be helmed by Murugadoss, who is best known to the Hindi audience for the 2008 action-thriller ‘Ghajini’, which co-starred Aamir Khan and Asin.
Aside from ‘Sikander’, Mandanna will be reprising her role as Srivalli, the wife of Allu Arjun’s character Pushpa in ‘Pushpa 2’, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2021 blockbuster.
Mandanna will also star opposite Vicky Kaushal in the period drama ‘Chhaava’. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the movie will depict the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Shivaji.
