Vijay Deverakonda Praises Rashmika's Mysaa Teaser
After resharing the teaser, Vijay wrote, “Mysaaaa. What is this wildness? This is terrific.” He then added, “Just no more injuries please”, referring to Rashmika's previous injury during the making of the film. His reaction comes as Mysaa offers one of Rashmika's most action-heavy roles so far.
The teaser highlights her intense presence and places her character in a rugged setting, with the actress seen taking on physically demanding situations. Vijay and Rashmika have previously worked together in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. They are also set to reunite in the period action drama Ranabaali, which is scheduled to release on October 16.
Rashmika Mandanna Takes On A Fierce Avatar
Directed by Rawindra Pulle, Mysaa is an emotional action thriller set against the world of the Gond tribes. Rashmika plays the central character, with the teaser showing her facing danger while carrying an emotional burden. The footage features underwater action, intense combat and moments involving a sickle.
Rashmika's voiceover also establishes the character's difficult journey, beginning with a reflection on being tired, stopping and losing before revealing her determined side. The film's cast includes Eshwari Rao, Rahul Ravindran, Samuthirakani, Rao Ramesh, Tarak Ponnappa and Nidhi Singh.

Rashmika's Injury Happened During Mysaa Shoot
Rashmika has previously spoken about the physical demands of Mysaa. During the film's shoot, she suffered a hip tendon injury while filming a song, which led to a break from work. At the teaser launch, she also discussed the demanding sequences she was asked to perform, including spending hours underwater, taking part in mud fights and being asked to jump from the 90-foot Athirappally waterfalls.
She described the project as unfamiliar territory and said the experience pushed her into situations she had not attempted before. Vijay's “no more injuries” message therefore came in the context of a production that has already involved several physically challenging sequences for the actress.
Mysaa Release Date And Latest Updates
Mysaa marks Rawindra Pulle's directorial debut and is produced by Ajay Saipureddy, Anil Sayapureddy and Veerasai Gopa under Unformula Films. Jakes Bejoy has composed the music. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 27, 2026.
With its teaser now out, the makers have introduced Rashmika's character and the action-driven world of the film while keeping much of the larger story under wraps. The teaser also positions Mysaa as a female-led action drama, with Rashmika at the centre of its narrative and emotional conflict.
Final Take
Vijay Deverakonda's reaction adds a personal note to the latest Mysaa update, combining praise for the teaser with concern over Rashmika Mandanna's demanding shoot. The film is now moving toward its November 27 theatrical release with its action-heavy world firmly introduced.
