Is she the new national crush?

For years, Rashmika Mandanna has been affectionately called the 'national crush'. But now, someone else is taking that place on social media. That is Rukmini Vasanth. This Kannada beauty, who played the role of a princess in 'Kantara: Chapter 1', captivated the audience with her beauty, excellent performance, and especially the surprising twist in her character.

Although she had earlier received praise from critics with the Kannada film 'Saptha Saagaraalu Daati', "Kantara: Chapter 1" took her to the pan-India range. Currently, all social media has fixed her as the new "national crush". However, Rukmini is not overwhelmed by this popularity, and is very simple.

"Many people call me a national crush. I'm happy to hear that, but I don't care much about it. Compliments are temporary, they change with time," she says very coolly.

Coming to movies.. There is talk that Rukmini Vasanth will be playing the heroine in NTR's upcoming film "Dragon" directed by Prashanth Neel. Although there is no official announcement from the makers on this, her choice is almost final. Moreover, she is also going to be seen in a powerful role in Yash's pan-India biggie "Toxic".
