Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who has a slew of films lined up for release, has started shooting for her part in the upcoming movie ‘Sikandar’. The actress will be seen opposite Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in the film.

In ‘Chhaava’, the actress will be seen in the role of Yeshubai Bhosle, wife of Sambhaji Maharaj along with Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana and Divya Dutta in supporting roles. ‘Chhava’ is set to debut in theatres on December 6, 2025 and will clash with the Allu Arjun-starrer potential box-office juggernaut ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, making a rare occurrence of an actress’s two films clashing at the box-office.
This is Vicky’s 2nd biggest clash after ‘Sam Bahadur’ which locked horns with the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer ‘Animal’.
