After Sikandar's massive flop, Rashmika Mandanna reveals the script was changed mid-shoot; here's why!

News Topical, Digital Desk : High expectations were placed on the AR Murugadoss-directed action thriller Sikandar, but upon its theatrical release, the film first received a lot of criticism and then tanked at the box office.

Sikander stars Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and Sathyaraj in lead roles. Following Tiger 3, Sikander was expected to take the box office by storm.

The script of Sikandar was changed

But the film flopped badly. Salman Khan faced criticism for it. Now, nearly a year later, Rashmika Mandanna has made a significant claim about Sikandar. She says the film's script was changed midway through. The story she was told wasn't the one she was told.

Rashmika was initially narrated a different script.

In a conversation with Telugu journalist Prema, Rashmika Mandanna explained her decision to sign Sikandar. She said, “I remember speaking to Murugadoss sir, and of course, what happened later was very different, but when I heard the script, it was really quite different. That's how it usually happens with films.”

Why was the script of Sikandar changed? 

Rashmika Mandanna further said, "When you hear something, it is a story that you have heard but during the making of the film, things change in terms of performance, editing and release time. Things change and this is very common. So the same thing happened with Sikandar."
