Rajinikanth‘s upcoming film ‘Dharman’ has been making headlines ever since it was announced. Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, the film is one of the most anticipated Tamil releases in production. Backed by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International, ‘Dharman’ marks Rajinikanth’s 173rd film as a lead actor. The project already features Simran, Raashii Khanna and Yogi Babu in important roles, and fresh reports suggest that another popular South Indian actress has joined the cast.
Rukmini Vasanth on board for ‘Dharman’
According to Cinema Express, actress Rukmini Vasanth has joined the cast of ‘Dharman.’ While the makers are yet to officially announce her inclusion, reports claim she will be seen in a key role alongside Rajinikanth. If true, this will be the first time Rukmini Vasanth will team up with the superstar. The news has excited fans, who are now waiting for Raaj Kamal Films International to make the casting official.
Ashwath Marimuthu promises a fresh Rajinikanth entertainer
While the story of ‘Dharman’ is still under wraps, the film is expected to have a mix of action, family emotions and commercial entertainment. Earlier, Ashwath Marimuthu hinted that the film would carry the flavour of classic Rajinikanth entertainers while presenting a fresh story for today’s audience. Posters released so far show Rajinikanth in the role of a doctor, with the character being described as “deadly.” The director has also clarified that the film is not a remake of Netflix’s ‘The Good Doctor,’ putting an end to speculation surrounding the project.
A major career boost for Rukmini Vasanth
If the reports are to be believed, ‘Dharman’ will be another landmark in Rukmini Vasanth’s fast-rising career. The actress recently debuted in Tamil with ‘Ace’ alongside Vijay Sethupathi and impressed fans in Sivakarthikeyan’s ‘Madharaasi’. She has big projects like ‘Toxic’ with Yash and ‘Dragon’ with Jr NTR in the pipeline. The makers have not yet made an official announcement, but the rumoured inclusion of the actor has already added yet another layer of excitement to one of Rajinikanth’s most awaited films.
