Reigning star Rashmika Mandanna is reportedly commanding a hefty remuneration for her upcoming film Mysaa, in which she plays a strong, author-backed role. “She understands that the film’s pull largely rests on her shoulders and has demanded Rs 5 crore, which the makers have agreed to,” says a source.
After portraying a soft, romantic character in The Girlfriend, Rashmika switches gears and steps into full-fledged action mode with Mysaa, marking the directorial debut of Ravindra Pulle. “The film is being made in five languages, including Hindi, Telugu and Tamil, to capitalise on Rashmika’s growing pan-India popularity,” the source adds.
Mysaa is said to be a dark, intense story set in a tribal backdrop, revolving around a woman’s valour and her defiance of death. Rashmika has reportedly undergone a fierce physical and emotional transformation for the role and is expected to deliver one of the boldest and most violent performances of her career.
The actress has already completed 12 days of shooting and is expected to resume work after her holiday break, joining the sets again on January 6.
Currently, Rashmika is on a vacation with actor Vijay Deverakonda. The duo is said to be enjoying a festive getaway and is expected to ring in New Year’s Eve at their holiday destination.
Recently, Vijay Deverakonda shared a candid picture on his Instagram Stories, showing himself relaxing at an airport while Rashmika held up a Polaroid photograph she clicked of him. Captioning it, “After a crazy intense few months… it’s holiday time,” the post quickly went viral. Fans flooded social media calling them an “adorable couple,” while their matching hoodies and beanies further fuelled speculation about their relationship.
