Actor Rukmini Vasanth, known for her performances in Kannada cinema, turns 28 today, and to celebrate the occasion, the makers of her upcoming Tamil film Ace, starring Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role, released a first look of her character. In the film, which is said to be centered around gambling, Rukmini plays the role of "Rukku," and the glimpse released shows her without giving much away, except that the film is set in Malaysia.
Ace marks Rukmini Vasanth's Tamil debut, and she will also be seen playing the female lead in Sivakarthikeyan's upcoming film directed by AR Murugadoss (tentatively titled SKxARM/SK23). The teaser also includes a hint of the film's first single, raising anticipation for the full release.
Rukmini Vasanth's film career began with the Kannada film Birbal Trilogy Case 1: Finding Vajramuni (2019), directed by MG Srinivas. She gained recognition with her roles in the two-part Kannada films Sapta Saagaradaache Ello—Side A and Side B (2023), directed by Hemanth M Rao, where she starred opposite Rakshit Shetty. She was also seen in Bhairathi Ranagal, a prequel to the 2017 film Mufti, starring Shivarajkumar.
In Ace, alongside Vijay Sethupathi, Rukmini Vasanth is joined by a talented ensemble cast, including Yogi Babu, PS Avinash, Divya Pillai, Bablu, and Rajkumar, all in prominent roles. The film is expected to be an out-and-out commercial entertainer with a mix of romance, action, comedy, and sentiment.
