Salman Khan’s highly anticipated film “Sikandar,” co-starring Rashmika Mandanna, is set to hit theaters this Eid, March 30th. The excitement surrounding the film has been palpable, especially after the release of its captivating trailer on March 23rd. As the release date approaches, the film’s team is actively engaged in promotional activities.

During a recent media interaction, Salman Khan opened up about his professional choices. When questioned about his criteria for selecting projects, especially with numerous directors and actors expressing their desire to collaborate with him, Salman shared his thoughts on working with emerging actresses in the industry.

“I was thinking of working with these new girls so they get good films and become big stars. But you people have ruined it by highlighting the age gap,” Salman remarked. He further humorously added, “Now, if I want to work with Ananya or Janhvi, I’d have to think ten times!” However, he quickly clarified, “Even after thinking ten times, I will work with them.”

Salman also addressed the criticism regarding the age difference between him and his “Sikandar” co-star Rashmika Mandanna. “People talk about the 31-year age gap. If Rashmika and her father have no problem, then why should anyone else?” he retorted. Salman has previously worked with actresses like Disha Patani and Pooja Hegde, further fueling the age-related discussions.
