As Kantara: Chapter 1 releases worldwide today actor Rukmini Vasanth shared an emotional note, filled with gratitude for the journey that shaped her both as an artist and as a person.

“Over a year ago, I had the privilege of joining the team of Kantara: Chapter 1. It has challenged me, taught me, improved the way I approach my craft and given me a new perspective on life. This film is a labour of love, painstakingly brought to life by the hundreds of people who worked day and night on it – I am so grateful to have been a part of this mesmerising film,” she wrote with heartfelt honesty.
Rukmini reserved her deepest appreciation for director Rishab Shetty, acknowledging his vision and relentless spirit: “Rishab sir has been the rock of this project. Sir, your hard work and leadership of this magnificent film has been so inspiring. Thank you for your faith in me and for helping me through this journey.”
She also extended her thanks to the Hombale Films family — Vijay Kiragandur, Chaluve Gowda, Adarsh, and the many unsung heroes who toiled behind the camera to bring this cinematic experience to life.
And the journey is only beginning. With Kantara: Chapter 1 opening a new chapter in her career, Rukmini now stands on the cusp of two monumental projects: with Rocking Star Yash in Toxic, and joining Prashanth Neel’s magnum opus with NTR Jr.
