'Kanakavathi is not anything like me': Rukmini Vasanth on her role in 'Kantara Chapter 1'

Following the success of Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1, actress Rukmini Vasanth has shared that she tried something that she never did before.

Rukmini Vasanth, who played the role of Kanakavathi, in a recent interview shared that she had to "emotionally connect with rituals, music and the atmosphere", to portray the character.

"Honestly, Kanakavathi is not anything like me," she said, while speaking to Cinema Express.

Further she expressed that getting to embody different characters is the best part of being an actor.

"Isn't getting to embody different worlds and characters the best part of being an actor? And I have to make it believable, right?" she said.

"If I don't connect with the core of the character, how will the audience?" the actress said.

Starring Rishab Shetty as the main lead, Kantara: A Legend Chapter-1 was released on October 2.

Rukmini will be seen next in the upcoming film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, alongside actor Yash.
