Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 22 (ANI): Actor Rukmini Vasanth will be seen donning the role of Princess Kanakavathi in Kantara: Chapter 1.

Sharing her experience working in the film, Rukmini, in a press note, said, 'For me, Princess Kanakavathi has been one of the most special journeys of my life. It wasn't just about looking regal-- 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.'

Meanwhile, on Monday, the trailer of Kantara: Chapter 1, which stars Rishab Shetty in the lead role, was unveiled.
