Actor Nani has officially announced the second project under his banner, Unanimous Productions, with Nithiin playing the lead role. The film, titled Alias Rukmini, will be directed by Murali Kanth Devasoth, who earned recognition for Dhandoraa.
The makers unveiled the film’s title through a creatively crafted announcement video that offers a glimpse into its unique narrative. The video begins with director Murali Kanth narrating the story of Krishna, a Class 10 mathematics teacher portrayed by Nithiin. As the narration progresses, dreamlike visuals introduce characters inspired by novels written under the pen name Rukmini.
In an interesting twist, Nani interrupts the narration to ask, “Who is Rukmini?” Krishna then reveals that Rukmini is his wife, accompanied by a soulful musical score that beautifully captures the film’s emotional essence.
The title announcement video is engaging and visually appealing, featuring fictional novel titles such as Vratham Venkanna, Garam Gopal, and Aameku Aame Ante Istam, offering subtle hints about Rukmini’s personality and the film’s storytelling style.
Produced by Deepthi Ganta under Unanimous Productions, Alias Rukmini is billed as a romantic drama with bold and emotional undertones. The film was formally launched today with a traditional pooja ceremony and is currently in the pre-production stage, with regular shooting set to commence soon.
The film boasts a talented technical crew, with Jomon T. John ISC handling cinematography, Vijai Bulganin composing the music, Avinash Kolla serving as production designer, and Srujana Adusumilli taking care of editing. With Nani backing the project and an emerging filmmaker at the helm, fans are hopeful that Alias Rukmini will mark a strong comeback for Nithiin.
