Sharing some pictures of actress Rashmika Mandanna training hard in martial arts for his eagerly awaited action entertainer, Mysaa, the director of the film, Rawindra Pulle, has now called Rashmika's character the "weapon" in "a war written in scars".

Taking to his Instagram stories section, Rawindra Pulle shared pictures of the actress undergoing training in martial arts and wrote, "A war written in scars... She is the weapon."

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. 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.

It may be recalled that the makers of the film have brought on board international stunt choreographer Andy Long, who has worked on films like Commando, Kung Fu Warrior, Projekt Adler, The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud, Sanak and Kalki, for choreographing stunts in the film.

National Crush Rashmika Mandanna is bringing her fiercest avatar yet in Mysaa, the female-driven action drama directed by debutant Rawindra Pulle. The film, which has already created strong hype with its first look, followed by an intense teaser, dropped a striking new poster on the occasion of Rashmika's birthday.

The poster shows Rashmika in a heavily wounded, battle-worn state, with her face smeared with dirt, soot, and blood. Deep cuts across her nose, cheeks, and forehead reveal the brutality her character has endured. Yet, her intense, rage-filled gaze stands unbroken, capturing the emotional depth and raw ferocity the role demands.

Set against the culturally rich backdrop of the Gond tribes, Mysaa presents Rashmika in a never-before-seen transformation as a fierce Gond woman. The film promises a gripping mix of emotion and high-octane action, mounted on a grand Pan-India scale by Unformula Films.

The film also features Eshwari Rao, Guru Somasundaram, and Rao Ramesh in pivotal roles. On the technical front, cinematography for the film is being handled by Shreyaas P Krishna. Jakes Bejoy is scoring the music for this film, the shooting of which is progressing at a brisk pace.
