Rashmika Mandanna is stepping into the physically most demanding character of her career in the upcoming film Mysaa. The movie already grabbed eyeballs with its intense glimpse. Mysaa, directed by debutant Rawindra Pulle and produced by Unformula Films, presents Rashmika as a tribal Gond girl, a character that demands emotional vulnerability as much as physical ferocity.
What is truly pushing expectations higher is Rashmika’s unwavering commitment off-screen. With international action director Andy Long supervising the stunts, the film is shaping up to set a new benchmark for female-led action in Indian cinema.
After being deeply moved by the script, Rashmika made a bold decision to rebuild herself physically and mentally for the role. With an aim to deliver a flawless action performance with raw intensity, Rashmika has flown to Bangkok and immersed herself in an intensive stunt and combat bootcamp.
Her daily routine there is nothing short of brutal. She is training for nearly eight hours every day, learning advanced stunt techniques, hand-to-hand combat, and high-speed action coordination under globally renowned experts. Images from her sessions reveal a resolute, fiercely focused Rashmika, far removed from her usual soft-natured screen persona.
The team will soon begin a crucial 16-day action schedule in Kerala, and Rashmika’s ongoing training is tailored specifically for this demanding stretch. Eshwari Rao, Guru Somasundaram, and Rao Ramesh play key roles.
