Rashmika had to pause Sikandar, Thama, and Kubera shoot

Rashmika, who has a massive lineup of films this year had to pause multiple shoots following the leg injury. She had earlier shared on Instagram, "Well… happy New Year to me, I guess! Injured myself in my sacred gym shrine. Now I'm in ‘hop mode' for the next few weeks or months or God only knows, so seems like I'll be hopping my way back to sets for Thama, Sikandar, and Kubera!"

"To my directors, sorry for the delay…I'll be back soon enough, just making sure my legs are fit for action (or at least fit for hopping). In the meantime, if you need me…I'll be the one in the corner doing a highly advanced bunny hop workout. HOP HOP HOP," she added.
