At the Grand Trailer Launch of Kantara: Chapter 1
At the glittering trailer launch event in Bangalore, actress Rukmini Vasanth spoke with heartfelt honesty about her role as Queen Kanakavathi in Kantara: Chapter 1. She described the film as not just another project but a journey that has profoundly transformed her both professionally and personally. Calling it one of the most cherished experiences of her career, Rukmini emphasized how deeply the film has impacted her life.
Gratitude to the Team Behind the Film
Rukmini began by expressing her sincere thanks to producer Vijay Kiragandur and Hombale Films for giving her the opportunity to collaborate with them for the second time. She went on to share her immense appreciation for director Rishab Shetty, crediting him for her artistic and personal growth:
“Kantara Chapter 1 is a film which is very close to my heart. I can’t thank you enough, Rishab Sir, because during the making of this film, I have grown not just as an actress but as a human being. This film has changed me on a cellular level, and it is because of the trust and encouragement shown towards me by you.”
She further recalled how even the smallest moments from dubbing sessions revealed to her how much she had evolved as a performer. Her gratitude extended to costume designer Pragathi Shetty, the DOP, and the entire technical team for their support, encouragement, and tireless efforts.
A Heartfelt Journey of Growth
Reflecting on her journey, Rukmini spoke about how director Rishab Shetty’s encouragement had left a lasting impression since their earlier collaboration. She admitted that while words may not fully capture her gratitude, her heart remains “truly full” for the opportunities and trust placed in her.
Looking Ahead: Big Projects on the Horizon
Having won hearts with her sincerity and depth, Rukmini is now stepping into a new, exciting chapter of her career. Alongside Kantara: Chapter 1, she will be seen in TOXIC starring Yash and NTR Neel featuring NTR Jr. — two of the most anticipated films set to release in the coming year.
