A biopic of the legendary Carnatic singer and Bharat Ratna awardee MS Subbalakshmi is currently in development. Director Gowtam Tinnanuri is helming the project, which aims to bring the life of the musical icon to the big screen.
Recent reports suggest a major casting shift for the lead role originally linked to Sai Pallavi. The latest buzz indicates that Rukmini Vasanth, known for her breakout performance in Sapta Sagaralu Dhaati Ello, has been roped in to play the singer. This news comes as Rukmini is also preparing for her high-profile Telugu debut alongside Jr NTR.
Music director Anirudh is likely to reunite with the director to compose the soundtrack for this prestigious film. The collaboration is highly anticipated given their successful track record on previous projects together.
Meanwhile, Sai Pallavi is focusing on the historical epic Ramayana, which is scheduled for a Diwali 2026 theatrical release.
