The project is backed by acclaimed filmmaker-producer Martin Prakkat, known for films such as Charlie and Nayattu, while Nashid, who was among the writers of Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey, is directing the film. The coming together of these names with Rukmini Vasanth and Nivin Pauly makes NP51 one of the more interesting additions to the Malayalam slate.
Having carved a strong identity for herself with performances in films such as Sapta Sagaradaache Ello and Kantara, Rukmini has steadily evolved from a promising Kannada talent into one of the most sought-after young actors working across South Indian cinema.
Rukmini is now also gearing up for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, while she has another highly anticipated big-ticket project, NTRNeel’s Dragon, in her kitty.
