Ranabaali on October 30? Rashmika's recovery after hip injury offers fresh hope

Rashmika Mandanna's recovery from the injury she suffered earlier this year is reportedly progressing well, bringing fresh momentum to the production of Ranabaali. With the actor responding positively to rehabilitation, the makers are now eyeing an October 30 theatrical release for the Vijay Deverakonda-starrer.According to a report by Gulte, Rashmika is keen to return to the sets at the earliest and complete her remaining portions to ensure the film stays on schedule. The actor had temporarily stepped away from shooting commitments after suffering a complete tendon detachment in her right hip while filming an intense dance sequence for her upcoming film Mysaa.The injury made doctors recommend nearly six weeks of rest and rehabilitation, affecting the schedules of both Mysaa and Ranabaali. However, reports suggest her recovery has been encouraging, giving the team confidence that filming can resume without major disruptions.Ranabaali is a crucial project for Vijay Deverakonda, who is looking for a strong box-office comeback after a string of underwhelming releases. The anticipation surrounding the film has also been growing steadily as it reunites Vijay and Rashmika Mandanna on screen, with the real-life couple sharing screen space once again. Earlier, Rashmika sparked curiosity among fans when she shared a blurred image of Vijay from the sets on social media, describing what the team was creating as "extremely scary" without revealing further details. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Ranabaali is expected to feature Vijay in one of the most physically demanding roles of his career. The actor reportedly underwent extensive training in horse riding, combat techniques and weapon handling as part of his preparation for the film.With Rashmika's recovery now reportedly on track, the team is optimistic about completing the remaining shoot without further delays. If everything proceeds as planned, Ranabaali is expected to arrive in theatres on October 30, giving Vijay Deverakonda one of his biggest opportunities in recent years to bounce back at the box office.- EndsPublished By: T Naga Maruthi AcharyaPublished On: Aug 11, 2026 13:46 IST
