The actress is widely recognised for her work in the South Indian movie domain, especially Kannada cinema. Rukmini made her debut and hogged the limelight with the movie, Birbal Trilogy Case 1: Finding Vajramuni, back in 2019.
What is Rukmani Vasanth’s background?
Rukmini was born in a Kannada-speaking home, and her father, the late Colonel Vasanth Venugopal, received India’s highest peacetime military decoration, the Ashok Chakra.

The actress, according to a Filmibeat report, believes that her dad does not just live in the medals and formal ceremonies, but is with her in her work, both on and off screen, and shares his values. Rukmini’s mom, Subhashini Vasanth, is a renowned Bharatanatyam dancer. She had also established a foundation to support war widows in Karnataka.

Rukmini talks about her role in Kantara Chapter 1
For Rukmini, ‘Princess Kanakavathi’ has been one of the most special journeys of her life. Rukmini shared, “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.”
Rukmini Vasanth was to replace Deepika Padukone in Prabhas’ Spirit?
Deepika Padukone exited from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s much-anticipated movie, Spirit. She took a step back because of disagreements on compensation and working conditions. There were reports doing the rounds that Rukmini was to be roped in as the female lead. However, Triptii Dimri was confirmed as the female lead.
