Rashmika Mandanna, one of the most sought-after stars in the industry, has recently hit a temporary pause in her shooting schedule due to a gym injury. Known for her stellar performances in Pushpa 2: The Rule and Animal, Rashmika was in the middle of filming for the highly anticipated Sikandar, which stars Salman Khan, when the unfortunate accident occurred.
A source close to the actor confirmed that she sustained an injury while working out at the gym and has been advised to rest and recover. Fortunately, the actor is reportedly recovering well and is expected to return to the set once she’s fully cleared by her doctors. Despite the temporary setback, fans have been reassured that Rashmika will be back in action soon.
Rashmika had been filming alongside Salman Khan for Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. However, production has been paused for the time being until she is fit to resume work. The film, which also features Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar, is set to release on Eid 2025, and fans are eagerly waiting for this big-screen reunion between Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala, nearly a decade after their blockbuster Kick.
Currently basking in the success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, where she reprised her role as Srivalli alongside Allu Arjun, Rashmika is also receiving praise for her performance in the film. With the movie becoming one of the highest-grossing Indian films, she continues to climb the ladder of success.
Aside from Sikandar, Rashmika’s future looks bright. She will soon be seen in The Girlfriend, directed by Rahul Ravindran. The film’s teaser was recently unveiled by her rumored boyfriend, Vijay Deverakonda, who expressed his excitement and admiration for her growth as an actor.
