“Man of the Masses” NTR NTR is currently working on one of the biggest Pan-India films of his career, under the direction of hit-making director Prashanth Neel. Since the film was announced, it has been doing rounds all over the industry, with enthusiasts waiting with bated breath for every little tidbit. While the magnitude of the film itself generated enormous buzz, there is one question that has always continued to fascinate movie buffs—what is the female lead opposite NTR?
For months now, there were speculations galore that Kannada beauty Rukmini Vasanth, who made a big splash with her stupendous performances in Sandalwood, was in consideration for the role. Yet, there was no official word from the makers, which left people wondering.
Now, this secret appears to have been cracked. During the pre-release event of Telugu movie Madharaasi, starring Rukmini Vasanth in her latest outing, renowned producer N. V. Prasad dropped a casual hint that one of her next movies is none other than the big-ticket NTR–Prashanth Neel production. His remark has pretty much sealed the deal that Rukmini will be joining this big-ticket venture as the heroine.
This news has immediately thrilled NTR followers, with Rukmini regarded as a welcome alternative to the typical big stars. With her charm, screen presence, and natural acting ability, she is going to bring a new buzz to the movie, and alongside NTR’s match-winning turn and Prashanth Neel’s engaging narrative, the combination should bring something special to the wide screen.
With NTR’s Pan-India craze, Prashanth Neel’s blockbuster KGF and Salaar and Rukmini Vasanth’s new flair, the film is shaping up to be one of the most eagerly awaited movies in Indian cinema.
