Rashmika Mandanna give peek into Mysaa underwater action sequence: ‘Most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do in life’
The actress took to the Stories section of her Instagram Thursday, and shared a picture of herself in which she can be seen standing in a pool with her back facing the camera.
She wrote on the picture, “I know I’ve been MIA but this is what we’ve been doing. This is by far the most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do in life. We are crazy for this but that’s what’s gotten me so so excited. Let’s goooo! #Mysaa (sic)”.’
