Rashmika Mandanna Steps Out With Vijay Deverakonda While Recovering From ‘Mysaa’ Injury

Rashmika Mandanna has made what multiple publications described as her first public appearance since revealing a serious hip injury sustained during the filming of Mysaa. The actor attended an engagement ceremony in Hyderabad with her husband, Vijay Deverakonda, on August 23.

Footage circulating from the event showed the couple arriving together and walking through the venue holding hands. Rashmika wore a dark green-and-gold Anarkali, while Vijay chose a black bandhgala-style outfit.

The appearance comes approximately three weeks after Rashmika disclosed that a tendon in her right hip had detached while she was filming a dance sequence for Mysaa. Although the latest footage shows her walking at the event, neither Rashmika nor the film’s production company has announced that she has fully recovered or resumed shooting.

Her attendance should therefore be treated as an encouraging public appearance—not as medical confirmation that she has been cleared for physically demanding work.

Rashmika and Vijay attend Hyderabad engagement

Rashmika and Vijay attended the engagement of producer Sirgapoor Niranjan Reddy’s son in Hyderabad. Videos shared from the private function showed the actors entering together, with Vijay remaining close to Rashmika as they moved through the venue.

The footage did not show her using visible walking assistance. She appeared comfortable during the brief clips available publicly, but a short event video cannot establish the extent of her recovery.

The couple married in Udaipur on February 26, 2026, after publicly confirming their wedding through matching Instagram statements. They called the celebration “The Wedding of VIROSH,” adopting the combined name used for them by followers.

Rashmika and Vijay previously worked together in the Telugu films Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. They are also part of director Rahul Sankrityan’s period action drama Ranabaali.

What Rashmika said about her hip injury

Rashmika disclosed the injury in an Instagram update on August 3. Explaining her absence from social media, she said it was her “3rd injury back to back” and acknowledged that she needed to treat her body “like a human body and not some machine.”

She described the injury in her own words, saying that one of the tendons on the right side of her hip had detached. According to the actor, the tendon needed to reattach before she could properly lift her leg.

Rashmika said the injury occurred during a dance shoot for Mysaa, which she called “the most aggressive film” she had worked on.

Her post included photographs from her recovery period at home, including time spent with her pets, completing puzzles and receiving gifts from friends and well-wishers. She did not announce a firm date for returning to the set.

Because the medical description came directly from Rashmika, the occurrence and location of the injury are confirmed. Specific rehabilitation timelines previously circulated in media reports, however, should not be treated as definitive unless confirmed by the actor, her doctors or the production team.

Why ‘Mysaa’ has been physically demanding

Written and directed by Rawindra Pulle, Mysaa is being produced by Ajay and Anil Sayyapureddy under the Unformula Films banner. The makers have presented it as an emotional action thriller set against the cultural landscape of the Gond community.

Rashmika leads the film as a fierce warrior character, a substantial physical departure from many of her romantic and commercial roles.

Promotional material has shown her in a battle-worn appearance, while production updates have highlighted martial arts preparation and elaborate action sequences. The team also filmed a demanding underwater sequence for the project.

Before disclosing her hip injury, Rashmika described the film as one of the most challenging experiences of her career. That context makes her recovery particularly important to the production: the role appears to require not only dramatic performance but also dancing, combat choreography, and sustained physical movement.

However, Unformula Films has not publicly announced how the injury has affected the remaining schedule. There is also no verified statement confirming whether the team has adjusted the shoot or when Rashmika will return.

A public appearance is not the same as returning to work

The Hyderabad outing offers the first widely reported public glimpse of Rashmika since her health update, but it does not establish that she is ready to resume action or dance sequences.

Attending a private event and completing an intensive film schedule place very different demands on the body. Any conclusion about her fitness for shooting should come from Rashmika or the Mysaa production team.

The distinction is especially important because the actor herself described the injury as limiting her ability to lift her right leg. Until there is a direct professional update, reports should avoid converting the event appearance into an unverified “full recovery” narrative.

Rashmika Mandanna’s current projects

Rashmika most recently appeared in the Hindi film Cocktail 2. Her forthcoming work includes Mysaa and Ranabaali, the latter reuniting her professionally with Vijay Deverakonda.

The two actors returned to work after their February wedding, but Rashmika’s subsequent injury temporarily shifted attention from her upcoming releases to her health.

At the time of publication, no officially confirmed revised shooting date for Mysaa has been announced.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The most significant part of Rashmika’s latest appearance is not the clothes or the couple’s brief interaction. It is the contrast between a public outing and the highly physical work awaiting her on Mysaa.

The film is being positioned around Rashmika’s transformation into an action-led protagonist. That makes a careful recovery more consequential than returning quickly for publicity or production deadlines.

Her own observation about treating her body as human rather than as a machine also draws attention to the physical burden placed on performers particularly when acting, dance choreography, underwater filming and combat preparation overlap within the same project.

Until Rashmika or the makers provide another update, the responsible conclusion is limited: she has stepped out publicly and was seen walking at the Hyderabad event, but her return to filming remains unconfirmed.
