Rashmika shares ‘flowery’ update on the start of shooting of ‘Sikandar’ starring Salman Khan

Mumbai, September 11 (IANS): Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who is seen in a number of films, has started shooting for her role in the upcoming film ‘Sikandar’. The actress will be seen opposite Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in the film.

On Wednesday, the actress posted a short video from the first day of shooting on the set of “Sikandar” in the stories section of her Instagram account. The bouquet of flowers can be seen in the video. Excitedly, the actress wrote “flowers” in the video and formed a Korean heart with her fingers.

Sikandar is the first collaboration between Salman and Rashmika and is directed by AR Murugadoss, known for films like Ghajini and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty.

The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. It marks the reunion of Salman and Sajid after the 2014 film ‘Kick’. The makers of the film have scheduled its release for Eid 2025, the festival reserved for Salman Khan’s releases.

Recently, Rashmika had revealed that she had met with a minor accident. She also shared that she had a lot of laddoos during her recovery.

Rashmika, who last did the blockbuster “Animal” with Ranbir Kapoor, will be seen reprising her role as Srivalli in “Pushpa 2: The Rule” starring Allu Arjun. She will also be seen in “Kubera” and “Chhaava” alongside Vicky Kaushal.

In ‘Chhaava’, the actress will be seen in the role of Yeshubai Bhosle, wife of Sambhaji Maharaj, along with Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana and Divya Dutta in supporting roles. ‘Chhava’ is scheduled to release on December 6, 2025 and will clash with potential blockbuster ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ starring Allu Arjun in the lead role, which is a rare case of one actress’ two films clashing at the box office.

For Vicky, this is the second biggest conflict after ‘Sam Bahadur’, which clashed with ‘Animal’, starring Ranbir Kapoor.
