Kantara Chapter 1 star Rukmini Vasanth has a connection with Rashmika Mandanna
Rukmini was born in 1996 in Bengaluru to Colonel Vasanth Venugopal. She rose to fame with her work in Sapta Saagaradaache Ello: Side A (2023), which received positive reviews and earned Rs 21 crore at the box office. It saw her act alongside Rakshit Shetty. The story centred on the love story of a car driver and a talented college student. Sapta Saagaradaache Ello: Side A clicked with the audience with its engaging presentation.
Interestingly, Rakshit also played a key role in helping Rashmika Mandanna find a foothold in the industry. The 'Kodava Beauty' was paired opposite him in Kirik Party (2016), which marked her debut. The film captured the magic of campus life and attained cult status. Fans have been waiting for its sequel for a while. Kirik Party, much like Saagaradaache Ello: Side A, did well at the box office. Shot on a budget of Rs 4 crore, it earned Rs 50 crore in its full run.
