Mumbai: Salman Khan recently drew criticism for romancing Rashmika Mandanna, who is half his age, in ‘Sikandar’.
However, unfazed by the hullabaloo over his 31-year-age gap between with Rashmika, Salman shared that he would like to work with young actresses Janhvi Kapoor and Ananya Pandey also to help their careers.
While talking about working with young actresses, Salman said, “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 added, “Now if I want to work with Ananya (Panday) or Janhvi (Kapoor), I will have to think 10 times.”
When a journalist asked him ‘not to think’, Salman replied, “I will think 10 times, but I’ll still do it.”
Helmed by AR Murugadoss, ‘Sikandar’ will be released in theatres on March 30.
Urging audiences to go to theatres and watch ‘Sikandar’ and other movies, Salman said, “I am hoping people working get good bonuses on Eid so that they can watch Sikandar, Mohanlal sir’s L2: Empuraan, and also Sunny Deol’s new film (Jaat). Three big stars are coming with big films and I hope all work.”
