Rashmika Mandanna Says Sikandar Was Different From What Was Narrated: 'Things Change' · news18.com

Rashmika Mandanna, who starred in the movie Sikandar with Salman Khan, recently talked about how the film changed a lot from the original plan.

She said that sometimes movies don't turn out the way they were first described.

The film, which had a big budget of ₹200 crore, didn't do well at the box office and was criticized for its weak story and lack of chemistry between the lead actors.

Rashmika explained that changes are common in filmmaking, but some people online think her role might have been cut down.

Salman Khan, however, defended the film's plot, saying it was good.

The movie is about a king who tries to protect people who received organ donations from his late wife.

Salman Khan also mentioned that he doesn't regret making the film, despite its poor reception.

The director, AR Murugadoss, attributed some of the film's issues to scheduling conflicts with Salman Khan.
