Fans urge Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda's collaboration after Mysaa teaser drops

Mysaa

The first look teaser of Rashmika Mandanna’s upcoming film Mysaa has set off a wave of excitement among fans — not just for her intense new avatar, but also for the buzz it has sparked around a possible cinematic crossover with her rumoured fiancé, Vijay Deverakonda. (Mysaa‘s teaser was unveiled on December 24, 2025, and immediately grabbed attention for Rashmika’s fierce, powerful portrayal.)

Rashmika shared the teaser with the caption: “Mysaa. This is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. We just wanted to do something fun for an evening to show you the world now and the serious stuff? Ohhhhohohohooio you’ll see it in a couple of months. So have funnn!#RememberTheName”

In the short glimpse, Rashmika’s character stands alone in a dark forest, surrounded by oncoming threats. With one wrist in handcuffs, she picks up her weapon and braces herself for battle, set against an evocative voiceover that hints at rage, resilience and survival. The teaser’s gritty tone and Rashmika’s raw intensity have impressed fans, who praised her transformation and the film’s emotional heft.

Social media users were particularly excited about the similarity between Rashmika’s tough, massy look in Mysaa and the recently released first glimpse of Vijay Deverakonda’s Rowdy Janardhana — another action-oriented project that captured audience attention with its own gritty visuals and tough hero persona. (Rowdy Janardhana’s title glimpse, featuring Vijay in a rugged look, has been widely shared and discussed online this week.)

This visual parallel led fans to playfully call for a crossover collaboration between the two films, dubbing Rashmika and Vijay the “power couple” of pan-India action cinema. One social media poster combined imagery from both teasers, celebrating the duo’s high-impact character designs and urging filmmakers to bring them together on screen.

Rashmika, who shared Mysaa’s tease on her social channels with the caption “This is just the tip of the iceberg… #RememberTheName,” has been embraced by audiences for stepping into a fierce, grounded role that’s a departure from her earlier work. The film — described as an emotional action thriller set against the backdrop of Gond culture — is one of her most anticipated projects.

Mysaa is slated to release in March 2026, while Rowdy Janardhana, starring Vijay Deverakonda, is expected at the end of 2026. Whether fans’ hopes for a crossover will materialise remains to be seen, but the current buzz highlights the strong pairing that audiences have come to love.
