Bollywood actor Salman Khan is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming action film ‘Sikandar’ directed by AR Murugadoss. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna opposite Salman Khan. This particular casting has sparked a debate, due to the significant age gap between the two actors.
Salman Khan commented on the controversy surrounding the 31 years age gap, “Now, people talk about the heroine of Sikandar, Rashmika. I was thinking that I will work with these new girls, and they will come up and become big stars. They will get bigger and better films. But you people ruined it for them with all the age gap talk."
He also talked about working with Ananya Panday and Janhvi Kapoor, “I was thinking of acting with these new actors. They will come. They will become big stars. They will get bigger and better films. But then, the age gap - you guys have ruined it. If I want to work with Ananya or Janhvi, I will have to think 10 times. I will think 10 times and then do it.”
Earlier, Salman was asked about the age gap between him and Rashmika, he said, "When the heroine doesn’t have a problem, why do you have a problem? When she gets married and has a daughter, I will work even with her daughter. Mom will give permission."
