Rashmika Mandanna Is Back! Injury Break Ends As ‘Raaka’ Brings Her Back To Allu Arjun

Rashmika Mandanna’s unexpected break from work has finally ended — and it looks like the actress is wasting no time getting back into the madness of cinema. After being forced to slow down because of a painful hip injury, Rashmika has returned to the sets of Allu Arjun and Atlee’s Raaka in Mumbai. And there is an interesting twist to her comeback: the break that temporarily pulled her away from films also gave her something she desperately needed — uninterrupted time with her husband, Vijay Deverakonda.

1. From injury to comeback: Rashmika suffered a serious hip tendon injury while shooting a dance sequence for Mysaa. The injury forced her to step away from her packed schedule and focus on recovery. She even joked about the situation, saying the universe may have deliberately slowed her down so she could spend more time with her husband.

2. Three months with Vijay: Rashmika recently revealed that she and Vijay barely managed to spend quality time together after marriage because their professional commitments kept them constantly occupied. At one point, they reportedly went nearly three months without properly seeing each other. Her recovery finally changed that.

3. Love, shows and Korean dramas: During her recovery period, the couple got the rare chance to stay home, relax, and simply spend time together. They watched shows, discovered their differences in entertainment choices, and Rashmika even introduced Vijay to Korean dramas.

4. Now work takes her away again: Rashmika has already joined Allu Arjun for a few days on Raaka, although her full shooting schedule is expected to begin next month. So, after finally getting precious time with Vijay, the actress is once again stepping back into her hectic professional life.

5. Raaka is massive: The film reunites Rashmika and Allu Arjun after the Pushpa franchise and is being mounted by Atlee as a huge fantasy action-adventure. Deepika Padukone, Mrunal Thakur, Janhvi Kapoor and Karan Mehta are also part of the cast, with several large-scale action sequences and creatures reportedly forming key attractions.

The team is reportedly targeting an early 2027 wrap, while December 2027 is being considered for the theatrical release. For Rashmika, the quiet recovery chapter is over. The cameras are rolling again — and this time, there is no slowing down.
