MUMBAI: Kantara: Chapter 1 has unveiled its much-anticipated trailer, and at the heart of this epic glimpse stands Rukmini Vasanth, radiating fire and grace as Princess Kanakavathi.
Clad in a turquoise drape with golden-embellished borders and adorned with ornate jewellery — a statement necklace, stacked bangles, heavy jhumkas, arm cuffs, waist belt, nose pin, and a maang tikka — Rukmini Vasanth exudes timeless elegance. Subtle dewy makeup and a delicate bindi complete the look, perfectly balancing grace and strength. Her screen presence radiates royalty, fusing the raw essence of the soil with the majesty of regality, evoking both reverence and awe.
Kantara: Chapter 1 promises to be a saga of folklore, faith, and fire born from the culture of our soil. And if the trailer is any indication, Rukmini’s portrayal of Princess Kanakavathi will be central to the mythic storm this narrative conjures. In just a few fleeting glimpses, Rukmini Vasanth has etched a silhouette of a princess - a woman of grace, grit, and divine resonance.
Rukmini says, "For me, Princess Kanakavathi has been one of the most special journeys of my life. It wasn’t just about looking regal— it was more about carrying a piece of our land, our folklore, and our faith in every movement. I think that’s why the trailer feels so powerful because, it’s the spirit of an entire culture shining through the glimpses. Kanakavathi is royal, yes, but she is also human and vulnerable. I had to surrender to her grace, but also to her grit. I can't wait for people to meet her in theatres."
Rukmini is all set to take her artistry to diverse terrains with her next ventures: the high-octane NTR–Prashanth Neel collaboration and the intriguing international project Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups.
