In the mist‑laden forests of Kerala, the crew huddled below towering trees, where a single misstep could mean a nine‑week break. The director, Rawindra Pulle, pushed Rashmika to sprint at full throttle on a craggy hilltop, the sound of her breath mixing with the crunch of the terrain.
The real test arrived when the director handed her a rope and a 90‑foot descent into the Athirappilly Falls. Shivers ran through her bones, but she stared straight down and plunged, the rush of water a brutal reminder of how far she’d come.
After the jump, a torn hip tendon left her on a three‑week rehab, yet she says the director’s passion keeps her moving. "I can go to any length for a film if the director is passionate," she told reporters, her voice steady despite the ache.
Mysaa, a thriller packed with action and drama, also stars Samuthirakani, Easwari Rao, Tarak Ponnappa, and Guru Somasundaram. The film is set to hit Indian theatres on November 27, and fans are already buzzing about the next chapter in Rashmika’s career.
