Rashmika Mandanna is currently recovering from a hip injury she sustained while working on her upcoming film Mysaa. The actress has already addressed her health situation publicly, assuring fans that although the injury has been painful, it has not been unbearable.
Now, a new report suggests that her recovery period could affect the shooting schedule of Raaka, the highly anticipated project directed by Atlee.
According to a report by Variety India, Rashmika is currently under medical supervision and has reportedly not yet been advised to return to film sets. As a result, the next schedule of Raaka is said to have been pushed by around 45 days.
Atlee Reportedly Wants Rashmika Fully Fit Before Resuming Shoot
The report claims that Atlee has decided to postpone the schedule rather than rush Rashmika back to work.
A source cited by the publication said the actress’ portions are physically demanding and that the director wants production to resume only when she is completely fit.
The decision reportedly reflects the production team’s focus on Rashmika’s recovery rather than attempting to maintain the original shooting timetable at the expense of her health.
The report further states that the team has been asked to remain supportive and avoid putting pressure on the actress to return prematurely.
When Could Rashmika Return to the Raaka Set?
If the reported schedule remains unchanged, Rashmika could potentially return to the Raaka shoot towards the end of September or during the first week of October.
However, the exact timing will ultimately depend on her recovery and medical advice.
At present, the reported 45-day delay should therefore be viewed as a production update rather than a confirmed return date for the actress.
Rashmika Had Earlier Explained Her Hip Injury
Rashmika previously gave fans a detailed update about her condition through social media.
The actress revealed that she had suffered a hip tendon detachment while filming a dance sequence for Mysaa. Explaining the injury, she said that one of the tendons on the right side of her hip had detached and would need to reattach before she could comfortably perform movements such as lifting her leg.
She also described the injury as an unfortunate consequence of the physically demanding shoot.
In her update, Rashmika joked that Mysaa was the most aggressive film she had worked on so far. She also spoke about trying to maintain her fitness during her recovery.
The actress’ candid message helped reassure fans while also giving them some understanding of why she needed time away from filming.
What Is Raaka?
Directed by Atlee, Raaka is one of the major upcoming projects attracting attention across Indian cinema.
The film features Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone in prominent roles, while Rashmika Mandanna is also associated with the project. Janhvi Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur have reportedly been linked to the film as well.
The project has generated considerable interest because of Atlee’s involvement and its high-profile cast.
Rashmika’s reported role is also expected to involve physically demanding portions, making sufficient recovery particularly important before production resumes.
Health Comes Before the Shooting Schedule
Film productions often operate around tightly planned schedules, but an injury can require those plans to change. In Rashmika’s case, the reported decision to delay her Raaka schedule indicates that the production is prepared to accommodate her recovery.
For the actress, the immediate priority remains getting back to full strength rather than returning to demanding scenes before she is ready.
Fans will now be watching for an official update regarding her recovery and the revised shooting schedule.
