A biopic of the legendary Carnatic singer and Bharat Ratna awardee MS Subbalakshmi is currently in development. Director Gowtam Tinnanuri is helming the project, which aims to bring the life of the musical icon to the big screen.
Recent reports suggest a major casting shift for the lead role originally linked to Sai Pallavi. The latest buzz indicates that Rukmini Vasanth, known for her breakout performance in Sapta Sagaralu Dhaati Ello, has been roped in to play the singer. This news comes as Rukmini is also preparing for her high-profile Telugu debut alongside Jr NTR.
Music director Anirudh is likely to reunite with the director to compose the soundtrack for this prestigious film. The collaboration is highly anticipated given their successful track record on previous projects together.
Meanwhile, Sai Pallavi is focusing on the historical epic Ramayana, which is scheduled for a Diwali 2026 theatrical release.
Dhanush seems to be highly confident in his next film, Kara. Directed by Por Thozhil fame Vignesh Raja, the movie is set to hit the big screens on April 30. Dhanush recently stated that Kara is a film without any gimmicks.
After watching the film, Dhanush told Vignesh Raja, “We’ve made an important film. If this film connects, if this film collects, it will give the industry a great confidence that you can deliver a big hit without gimmicks or going with the trend. Let’s see.” The director revealed this interesting conversation in an interview.
He added that Kara doesn’t disrespect audience’s intelligence, and that they made it utmost honesty. Mamitha Baiju plays the female lead. The movie is produced by Ishari K Ganesh under the banner of Vels Film International in association with Think Studios. GV Prakash Kumar is the music composer.
