On the auspicious occasion of Christmas Eve, the makers of the highly anticipated period action drama Mysaa have finally unveiled its "First Glimpse." Starring National Crush Rashmika Mandanna in the titular role, the teaser offers a breathtaking look into a world of ancient lore, grit, and high-octane battle sequences.
The Transformation: From "Lilly" to "Mysaa"
Known for her bubbly and "girl-next-door" roles, Rashmika Mandanna appears to have undergone a radical transformation for Mysaa. The 90-second glimpse showcases her as a fierce, sword-wielding warrior protecting a hidden civilization.
Key Highlights of the Glimpse:
- Visual Grandeur: The teaser opens with sweeping shots of a rugged, mountainous landscape, hinting at a world set centuries ago.
- Intense Action: Rashmika is seen performing her own stunts, sporting a battle-scarred look with traditional tribal tattoos and oxidized silver armor.
- The Soundscape: The background score, composed by Santhosh Narayanan, adds a haunting yet heroic layer to the visuals, building up to a crescendo as Mysaa draws her blade.
Mysaa.

A Pan-India Spectacle
Directed by debutant Shaurya Sanwal, Mysaa is being produced on a massive budget and is slated for a pan-India release. The film aims to tap into the "female-led action" genre that has seen a surge in interest globally.
"Mysaa is not just a character; she is a force of nature. Rashmika has dedicated nearly a year to training in Kalaripayattu and sword fighting for this role," the director shared during the glimpse launch event.
The Plot Rumors
While the plot is being kept under wraps, industry insiders suggest that Mysaa follows the journey of a woman from a forgotten tribe who rises to challenge a powerful empire to save her people's heritage. The film is rumored to involve heavy use of VFX to recreate ancient cities.
