The teaser for Mysaa introduces Rashmika Mandanna as a hardened tribal fighter who admits defeat yet vows to search for her father until death. Set for a November 27, 2026 theatrical release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, the Rawindra Pulle-directed epic features large-scale action, underwater clashes and a bloodied battlefield aesthetic.

T-Series released the teaser for the Rashmika Mandanna starrer action epic Mysaa on September 20, after recently confirming a worldwide theatrical release on November 27, 2026, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. The period action drama stars Rashmika Mandanna as Mysaa, a Gond tribal woman and is directed by Rawindra Pulle in his feature directorial debut.

The teaser opens with Rashmika's character in voiceover as she explains that she is tired and admits that she has lost. What follows establishes the film's visual register — large-scale action sequences, an underwater combat scene as Mysaa fights off rival men, as well as glimpses of a gruff Mysaa in rough and bloodied brawls in a jungle. At the end of the teaser, Mysaa is seen seated at the bottom of a body of water holding a sickle, as the voiceover explains that she will look for her father till her dying breath.

Earlier this month, the film's new release date was announced with a poster showing Mandanna's character from behind, turning with a fierce expression, face and arms streaked with blood, holding a spear behind her back with broken iron shackles on the other wrist, against a fiery battlefield backdrop.
