Overview
- A resurfaced clip from her interview with Telugu journalist Prema spread online on January 19, renewing attention on the 2025 Salman Khan film.
- Mandanna says the released version differed from the script she was narrated, noting such changes are common due to performances, editing and release timing.
- Online discussion revisited claims of significant trimming after censor review, with some alleging 20-plus minutes were cut, a claim not verified by the makers.
- Commentary also focused on Mandanna’s limited screen presence and criticism of the on-screen chemistry between the leads.
- Box-office reporting remains inconsistent, with a reported ~₹200 crore budget and totals cited around ₹185 crore worldwide (Sacnilk) or near ₹110 crore by others, as director A. R. Murugadoss and Salman Khan continue to trade explanations for the film’s underperformance.
