The 28-year-old actress, also known for films such as “Animal”, “Bheeshma” and “Geetha Govindam”, shared a post on Instagram on Saturday days after reports of her sustaining a leg injury started doing social media rounds.

“Injured myself in my sacred gym shrine,” she wrote in the caption alongside a picture of her with a plaster on her right leg.

Mandanna apologised to the directors of her upcoming films “Thama”, “Sikandar”, and “Kubera” for the delay in the shoots due to her injury.

“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 wrote.
