Rashmika Recalls Her Decision To Sign Sikandar
During a conversation with Telugu journalist Prema, Rashmika recollected her decision to take up Sikandar. She suggested that the film eventually took a completely different route from what was described to her during the narration.

Script Changes Are Common In Films
Explaining further, Rashmika continued that this generally happens with films. She noted that when you listen to something, it is one story that you have heard. However, over the making of the film, things change according to the performances, according to the edits, and according to the time of the release.
The actress stated that things change and that is very common. She confirmed that this is exactly what happened with Sikandar.
Sikandar Flopped At The Box Office
Sikandar was directed by renowned Tamil director AR Murugadoss, marking his first collaboration with Salman Khan. The film revolves around Sanjay Sikandar Rajkot who is motivated by a tragic accident to redeem his past by changing the lives of three people.
The film was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 200 crore. However, industry reports suggest that the Salman Khan starrer earned only Rs 185 crore worldwide, making it a commercial failure.
