Kannada actor Tarak Ponnappa has been roped in for a key role in Mysaa, starring Rashmika Mandanna in the lead role. He was seen famously in Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule. His appearance in the famous Jathara scene, caught substantial attention. His look involved a half-shaved head, white body paint, a slipper necklace, and traditional jewelry like jhumkas and a large bindi.
Tarak was seen as Pasura, Bhaira’s son, in the recent Jr NTR's Devara last year. Earlier, he acted in the lesser-known CSI Sanatan and Razakar in Telugu.
Mysaa, starring Rashmika in a violent role, is described as an emotional action thriller that is deeply rooted in the heart of tribal lands. The storyline is based in a Gond-dominated tribal land. Directed by Rawindra Pulle, it is produced by Ajay and Anil Sayyapureddy.
