Rashmika Mandanna addressed the underperformance of the 2025 film Sikandar, revealing that the script she initially heard differed significantly from the final version. She explained that such changes are common in filmmaking due to factors like performances, editing, and release timing. Directed by AR Murugadoss and starring Salman Khan, Sikandar earned around Rs 110 crore domestically against a Rs 200 crore budget. The film's shift from its original narrative and mixed critical reception contributed to its box office failure, which sparked public discussions and a blame exchange between the director and lead actor.
