Natural Star Nani, who delivered a massive blockbuster as a producer with COURT – State Vs A Nobody is presenting Nithiin’s ongoing film Alias Rukmini. The film brings together director Murali Kanth Devasoth, known for Dhandora, and producer Deepthi Ganta for a story that combines romance with an unusual conflict.

The makers have now announced Aafiya Sayed as the female lead. In the newly released glimpse, Aafiya appears as a strict schoolteacher who has earned some unusual nicknames from her students, including devil, Hitler, and homework police. She firmly writes her name on the artwork and gives the students an intense look, establishing her commanding personality.

Interest in the film has been building since the announcement glimpse offered a peek into its offbeat humour and Nithiin’s unconventional characterisation as Krishna. The first-look poster also received a positive response.

What happens when love turns an ordinary life upside down and exposes a secret that has remained hidden? That intriguing question lies at the heart of Alias Rukmini.

As the film moves towards completion, post-production activities are progressing alongside the ongoing shoot. Alias Rukmini is scheduled to arrive in theatres on December 4.
