Rashmika Mandanna is set to make history with Mysaa, an ambitious pan-Indian action thriller that has just wrapped filming of India’s first female underwater fight sequence.
The makers officially announced the completion of this groundbreaking action set-piece, which features Rashmika Mandanna in intense underwater combat. The actress filmed the sequence entirely without a body double, spending nearly 20 hours underwater across two days to perfect the choreography.
Rashmika described the experience as “the most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do in life” in a recent statement. The production team believes this sequence will be one of the film’s biggest highlights and promises audiences a spectacle unlike anything seen before in Indian cinema.
The actress has been undergoing intensive combat training for her role in Mysaa, which marks her first full-fledged action role. The underwater fight represents the culmination of months of physical preparation and stunt training for the demanding character.
Directed by debutant Rawindra Pulle and produced by Unformula Films, Mysaa is billed as a mystical action-survival thriller set in tribal lands. The film marks a bold departure for Rashmika Mandanna, positioning her as the lead in a high-octane action drama.
The teaser is expected to be unveiled soon, while the theatrical release is slated for the latter part of 2026. With its groundbreaking action sequences and Rashmika Mandanna’s transformation into an action heroine, Mysaa is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated pan-Indian releases of the year.
