Salman and Rashmika Mandanna

Salman Khan looked handsome as he appeared in shades of blue. He wore a blue T-shirt, paired with a light blue jacket and dark blue trousers. The event was also attended by Rashmika Mandanna who is playing the female lead in Sikandar.

Talking about working with Rashmika, Salman said at the event, “She has given her best. She used to finish shooting of Pushpa 2 at 7 pm and would join us at 9 pm, and would work till 6.30 in the morning and go back to work on Pushpa 2. Then after breaking her leg, she continued shooting with us, and didn't cancel a single day of shoot. She reminds me a lot of younger me."

Rashmika also heaped praises on Salman and called Sikandar a big opportunity for her.

"I'm really excited for you guys to watch the film and I hope you all like it. I got this opportunity to work with Salman sir. As in what can get bigger than that?" she said.
