Rukmini Vasanth Unveils Fiery Secrets Behind Kanakavathi Transformation

Some faces don’t just act, they live a thousand lives on screen. Rukmini Vasanth, the gentle and soft Manu from Sapta Sagaralu Dhaati, has now stepped into the storm as Princess Kanakavathi in Kantara: Chapter 1. It’s wild how she shifted from that quiet girl-next-door vibe to a royal warrior who can ride horses, fight battles, and still look drop-dead stunning. She dropped a few behind-the-scenes pictures captioned “Becoming Kanakavathi ♥️👸🏻”, and fans are going nuts.

You can tell she poured her heart into it. She wasn’t just posing pretty, she actually trained on an equestrian track, learned movements, and even kept notes about her character. Her diary pages show little sketches, words like “Daughter of the King,” “The Chosen,” “Strategist.” It’s the kind of effort you can’t fake. And those pictures, one day she’s decked in heavy jewels under palace lights, the next, she’s drenched in blood and mud, looking fierce enough to scare the wind itself.

Between takes, Rukmini’s seen laughing with the crew or chatting with Rishab Shetty, a nice little break from all that intense royal drama. That mix, the warrior and the warm soul, is what fans love most about her. She’s built a space where elegance and raw power walk hand in hand.

Kantara: Chapter 1 itself has gone wild at the box office, hitting over ₹800 crores worldwide and still earning around ₹10 crores on day 25. Not bad, right? Rukmini’s not just playing a princess anymore, she’s ruling hearts, one fierce look at a time.
