Rukmini Vasanth to Work in Nani’s Next?

It looks like Rukmini Vasanth is bagging all the happening projects! And it does not seem to be stopping anytime soon. The Bengaluru-born actress was already a force to reckon with after blockbuster Kantara: Chapter 1, where she held her own in a prequel that was headlined by Rishab Shetty. Then came the first glimpse of Dragon, the much-anticipated action drama directed by Prashanth Neel. It formally introduced Rukmini as a narrator. In a four-and-a-half-minute glimpse that was dense with atmosphere and character introductions, Rukmini’s presence was enough to draw attention.

Rukmini bags Nani’s film!

According to the latest reports in Tinseltown, Rukmini is set to headline a film bankrolled by actor-producer Nani. The yet-to-be-announced project is to be directed by Muralikanth Devasoth, whose debut film Dhandoraa received strong critical attention last year.

Nani’s films have a point of view

Nani’s production house (Wall Poster Cinema) has earned a reputation for backing films with a point of view. From Awe!’s genre-bending ambition to Court: State vs A Nobody’s sharp social edge to the HIT franchise’s procedural grip, the actor does not produce ordinary films. Actresses like Sai Pallavi and Keerthy Suresh have trusted his judgement. And Rukmini joining that list is an interesting development.

Rukmini’s clinical approach

Rukmini Vasanth had earlier suggested that she doesn’t chase visibility alone. “I don’t want to be in a film because I happened to be available,” Rukmini once commented. She has spoken about the rigour of her training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in Bloomsbury, London, about how she approaches character not as a costume but as a lived truth. And if the Nani production follows the template his banner has established, it will help her build her body of work in Telugu cinema in a big way. The Sapta Saagaradaache Ello actress must be looking forward to a substantial movie.
