Mumbai: Rukmini Vasanth takes on a strikingly different role in Mangala Gowri, the upcoming Kannada film directed by Rahul PK and written by Rahul PK and Pooja Sudhir. The first look features Rukmini in a police uniform, seated on a scooter, offering audiences their first glimpse of her character in the film. Sharing the frame with her is veteran actress Malashree, with the two leading women coming together for a story that brings two generations of actresses to the forefront.
Known for her nuanced performances and natural screen presence, Rukmini has consistently taken on varied characters across her filmography. In Mangala Gowri, the actor steps into the khaki for a role that presents her in an altogether different setting. The film also marks her second collaboration with filmmaker Hemanth M Rao after Sapta Saagaradaache Ello, and her second association with KVN Productions following Toxic. Her pairing with Malashree adds further intrigue to the project, bringing together two distinctive performers from different generations.
Backed by KVN Productions and Dakshayani Talkies, Mangala Gowri features music by Midhun Mukundan, cinematography by Srivathsan Selvarajan and action choreography by Vikram Mor. Produced by Venkat K Narayana and Hemanth M Rao, the film has completed 75% of its shoot and is currently progressing towards completion.
