Salman Khan said, “If I want to work with Ananya or Janhvi, people have made it difficult for me because then they talk about the age gap. I work with them thinking it’s giving them a good opportunity, and even then, I will continue to work with them."
During the trailer launch, the actor addressed conversations around his 30-year age gap with his Sikandar co-star, Rashmika Mandanna. Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, as usual, chose wit to deal with questions about their age gap. Salman Khan, 59, had a witty response when asked about his age gap with Rashmika Mandanna, 28. Addressing the media, the superstar said, “Phir vo bolte hain 31 years ka difference hai heroine aur mujh mein. Jab heroine ko problem nahi hain, heroine ke father ko problem nahi hain, tumko kya problem hain? Kal jab inki shaadi ho jayegi, bacche ho jaenge, toh unke sath bhi kaam karenge. Pati ka permission toh mil hi jayega na? (The heroine’s father has no problem. Tomorrow, when she gets married and has children, she will still continue working. She will get her husband’s permission, right?)"
Salman further lauded Rashmika’s professionalism. “She has given her best. She was shooting for Pushpa 2. She would finish shooting by 7pm and join us for shoot from 9pm. She used to work with us til 6.30 in the morning and then go back to work for Pushpa 2 and she was not well as well too."
The praises continued: “And then, after breaking her leg, she shot with us and didn’t cancel a single day. She reminds me a lot of me, younger me."
When the news came out that Salman is paired opposite Rashmika, a section of social media users weren’t too happy with the pairing. Netizens pointed out how Salman always choose younger actors as his female lead. Neither the superstar nor the makers had then commented on the matter.
