Rashmika Mandanna trains in combat in Bangkok for 'Mysaa'; unit to begin 16-day action schedule in Kerala soon!

CHENNAI: Sources close to the unit of director Rawindra Pulle's eagerly awaited action thriller 'Mysaa', have now revealed that actress Rashmika Mandanna was training hard at an intensive stunt and combat bootcamp in Bangkok, Thailand for the film, and that the unit was to begin a 16-day action schedule in Kerala shortly

Earlier on Saturday, director Rawindra Pulle had shared pictures of actress Rashmika Mandanna training hard in martial arts for his film 'Mysaa' on his Instagram page and had called her character as the "weapon" in "a war written in scars".

Now, sources in the unit have disclosed that the actress is training for over eight hours everyday for 'Mysaa' in Bangkok.

For the unaware, Rashmika plays a tribal Gond girl- a character that demands emotional vulnerability as much as physical ferocity -- in the film.

With international action director Andy Long supervising the stunts, sources say the film is shaping up to set a new benchmark for female-led action in Indian cinema.
