As the shooting of Rudramadevi progresses, lead actress Anushka has sustained injuries while enacting an action scene. The scene had Prince Mahesh, fighting with the fierce lady.

Mahesh is playing a small but important role in the film, possibly negative. In the scene, he threw a sword at Anushka and she was supposed to escape it. All this happens while the duo are riding horses. However, Anushka was not able to dodge it on time. Before everyone panics, the sword is not a real one. Though made of cardboard, it gave painful scratches to the lady, who had to get medical intervention.

Apparently, the actress has put in a lot of hard work to get the character of Rani Rudramadevi right. She is even performing all the stunts herself without the necessity of a body double.

Rudramadevi also has Rana, who also sustained injuries on the sets of another period thriller Bahubali. Prakash Raj, Baba Sehgal and Krishnam Raju are also part of Rudramadevi, which is being directed by Gunasekhar.
