Directed by Rawindra Pulle and produced by Unformula Films, Mysaa is set against the backdrop of tribal lands and is described as an emotional action thriller. The film has already generated considerable buzz for presenting Rashmika in a new action-oriented avatar, and the latest development has added to the curiosity surrounding the project.

According to the makers, Rashmika filmed the underwater action sequence without the assistance of an action double.
