'Mysaa' first look: Rashmika Mandanna unleashes her fierce warrior avatar

Actress Rashmika Mandanna has taken fans by surprise with her intense warrior transformation in the first-look poster of 'Mysaa'. Unrecognisable and fierce, Rashmika sports a blood-smeared face, wild hair, and a sword in hand as she roars while drawing her blade.“Raised with grit…”The poster, released by the makers on Friday (June 27), showcases her in an avatar that’s raw, powerful, and deeply symbolic of strength and resilience. The production house shared the poster on Instagram with the caption: “Raised with grit. Relentless in will. She roars. Not to be heard, but to be feared.”

Rashmika also took to social media to express her excitement and nervousness, calling the role one of her most challenging yet.

She wrote, "I always try to give you something new… something different… something exciting… And this… This is one of those.. A character I’ve never played before… a world I’ve never stepped into… and a version of me that even I hadn’t met till now.. It’s fierce.. it’s intense and it’s extremely raw.

. I am so nervous and super excited, I genuinely cannot wait for you to see what we’re going to be creating.. This is just the beginning.."

“Hunted. Wounded. Unbroken"Just a day prior to the first-look reveal, the makers dropped a teaser poster with the tagline “Hunted. Wounded. Unbroken.” It featured Rashmika holding a spear, her eyes blazing with determination as she prepared for battle.'Mysaa', directed by Rawindra Pulle, will mark Rashmika’s first solo headliner — a major milestone in her career. On the other hand, Rashmika Mandanna was recently seen in the action flick 'Sikandar'. Starring Salman Khan in the lead and directed by the 'Thuppakki' fame AR Murugadoss', 'Sikandar' unfortunately failed to impress the audiences.
