"He is my senior and a wonderful guy. He has often guided me on the use of the dialect we have to speak in the film and has also helped me nail my performance. When I perform a scene, I always look out for what my co-actor feels. I need to see whether my emotions strike a chord with him or her. If they react in the right manner, then I know I will be able to convey those emotions to the audience, too", she said to a leading daily. ## "Sidharth, in that sense, has always been there for me.

Of course, I prepare myself for the role, but he helps out in a big way", the Sulthan actress added.## When asked if Sidharth gave any advice on how to deal with her journey in Bollywood, Rashmika says, "We have been working non-stop. The schedule is really tight, but the little time that I get to speak with him, I ask him about various things. Like I once asked him for advice once about how I should navigate my way through the industry, and he said, 'You're just fine the way you are. Just be yourself, and keep at it. Do your work with all your conviction and focus. Everything else will work out. Make your choices the way you have so far", she said. ## Rashmika was last seen in the recently released "Sulthan" which also happened to be her Tamil debut. She got a lot of appreciation from the audience and critics for her act in the film. Karthi, who played the male lead in Sulthan, also credited Rashmika for the big opening of the film. ## Meanwhile, The actress has almost finished the shoot of "Mission Majnu" and has started shooting with Amitabh Bachchan for her second Hindi film, "Goodbye".

Committed To Theatrical Release, Salman Khan Says 'Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai' Might Be Postponed To Next Eid

Amid the covid-19 second wave across the country, Salman Khan, on Wednesday (April 7), said that his long and highly-awaited, "Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai" might get postpone for the next Eid if the cases do not drop. However, the superstar said that if people follow guidelines and the second covid-19 wave dies down then "Radhe" is very much on for the Eid 2021 release i.e. May 13. ## Maharashtra, which is the biggest market for Hindi films, is under a partial lockdown, with night curfew and weekend lockdown being imposed earlier this week to curb the virus. The restrictions will remain in place till April 30 which has forced theaters to close. ## Salman was speaking at the book launch of veteran actor Kabir Bedi's memoir, titled "Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Life Of An Actor". When Bedi asked Salman about the status of Radhe, the superstar said, "We still are trying our best to release it on Eid. But if the lockdown continues, we might have to push it to the next Eid. But if people wear their masks and keep social distance, and take good care of themselves, don't go out, don't break any of these laws that the government has put on us right now, I think this (second wave) will die off really soon". ## Adding that Radhe will release this Eid if the second wave of Covid-19 dies down, Salman said a lockdown will adversely affect not only the theater owners but also the daily wage workers. "If it happens, we will have Radhe in theaters in Eid. But, if the citizens do not follow these, it will not only be a problem for theatre-owners but also the daily wage workers. It is just going to be a really bad one like it was earlier. Everyone should be really serious and ensure we kill this coronavirus and move on in our lives before it kills us all".## "The most important thing is that we had promised for last Eid. That had to be postponed due to the pandemic. We then committed for this Eid. The picture will, of course, get released, and, by the grace of God, it has been made well so it will also work well. But what is important is, that people should not get corona.## Stay tuned...
