Actress Rukmini Vasanth experienced a profoundly emotional moment at the pre-release event for 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups' in Chennai. The enthusiastic reception from fans visibly moved her to tears, prompting her to ask for a moment to compose herself.
Rukmini's path to prominence includes overcoming personal tragedy. Her father, Colonel Vasanth Venugopal, was martyred in a 2007 terrorist attack and posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra for his bravery. Her mother then raised the family single-handedly.
Her entry into cinema was challenging, involving a demanding audition and subsequent periods without work. However, Rukmini utilized these times to refine her acting skills. This dedication led to notable roles in films like 'Kantara - Chapter 1' and 'Ace'.
'Toxic,' directed by Geetu Mohandas and featuring Yash, Kiara Advani, and Nayanthara, marks a significant milestone for Rukmini. The film is scheduled for release on August 26.
