Cinema VinesRashmika Mandanna is set to make a bold leap into the action genre with her upcoming film Mysaa, directed by first‑time filmmaker Rawindra Pulle. The teaser, released on Sunday evening, shows the actress embodying a fierce Gond tribal woman who refuses to back down from any challenge. The trailer opens with her character confessing her weariness, “I am tired, I have stopped, I have lost,” before pivoting to a display of relentless determination and combat prowess.
In the teaser, Rashmika is seen wielding a sickle, slicing opponents’ limbs, kicking necks to the point of breaking, and even fighting underwater. She rides a motorcycle in one striking sequence, underscoring the film’s high‑energy action. The role demanded rigorous physical preparation, and Rashmika herself suffered a tendon detachment during a pivotal stunt, a fact she admitted in interviews.
The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive. A top comment on the Hindi trailer read, “This is what a female‑led movie should look like,” while another praised the film for prioritizing acting over glamour. Many viewers predicted a blockbuster, citing “quality storytelling, grounded culture, and intense action.” One comment even described the teaser as a “slap to those trollers,” referencing the online harassment Rashmika has faced.
Beyond Rashmika, Mysaa boasts a strong supporting cast that includes Eshwari Rao, Guru Somasundaram, Rao Ramesh, Rahul Ravindran, Samuthirakani, Shiva Kandukuri, Karthik Ranjini, Tarak Ponnappa, and Nidhi Singh. Cinematography is handled by Shreyaas K Krishna, music is composed by Jakes Bejoy, and international action choreographer Andy Long has crafted the film’s fight sequences.
The film will hit theatres on November 27, 2026, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Rashmika’s last theatrical appearance was in the Hindi romantic comedy‑drama Cocktail 2, released on June 19, which also starred Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon.
