    A Regal First Glimpse

    The much-anticipated trailer of Kantara: Chapter 1 has finally been unveiled, and at its heart shines Rukmini Vasanth as Princess Kanakavathi. With fire in her eyes and grace in her bearing, she makes an indelible mark in this epic saga.

    The Look of Royalty

    Clad in a turquoise drape with golden-embellished borders, Rukmini is adorned with striking jewellery — a statement necklace, stacked bangles, heavy jhumkas, arm cuffs, waist belt, nose pin, and a maang tikka. Subtle dewy makeup, a delicate bindi, and an aura of quiet strength complete her look. Her presence blends the raw essence of the soil with the majesty of royalty, evoking both reverence and awe.

    A Saga of Folklore and Faith

    Kantara: Chapter 1 promises to be a tale rooted in folklore, faith, and fire born from the land’s culture. If the trailer is any indication, Rukmini’s Princess Kanakavathi will be central to the mythic storm the narrative conjures. In just a few frames, she emerges as a princess of grace, grit, and divine resonance.

    Speaking about her experience, Rukmini shares:
    “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.”

    What’s Next for Rukmini Vasanth

    Beyond Kantara: Chapter 1, Rukmini is set to expand her artistry across diverse terrains. She will next be seen in the high-octane NTR–Prashanth Neel collaboration and the intriguing international project Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-ups.

    Gratitude to Hombale Films and the Team

    “During the journey of making this film, I have grown not just as an actress but also as a human being. This film has changed me on a cellular level… all because of the trust and encouragement shown by Rishab Sir.”

    She also acknowledged stylist Pragathi Shetty for her constant support and praised the DOP and the entire technical team for making the experience unforgettable.

    From Saptha Sagaradaachaello to Kantara
