National Crush Rashmika Mandanna is stepping into the most demanding phase of her career, and her upcoming Pan-India action drama Mysaa is the reason behind it. While the film was already creating a buzz with its intense glimpse, what is truly pushing expectations higher is Rashmika’s unwavering commitment off screen. 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. 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. Determined to deliver an action performance that feels raw and real, 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.
If Rashmika’s training intensity is anything to go by, Mysaa isn’t just another film for her- it’s a transformation, a challenge, and a milestone she is determined to conquer. The anticipation around her never-seen-before avatar continues to skyrocket as the team pushes ahead with shoot and prep at full throttle.
Eshwari Rao, Guru Somasundaram, and Rao Ramesh are the other prominent cast of the movie.
Shreyaas P Krishna handles the cinematography, while Jakes Bejoy scores the music. International stunt choreographer Andy Long is overseeing the action for this ambitious entertainer.
