Rukmini Vasanth begins shooting with Nivin Pauly for 'NP51'
Thiruvananthapuram, August 11
Emerging young actress Rukmini Vasanth has begun the shooting of her upcoming film with Nivin Pauly, which is tentatively titled 'NP51'.
The actress shared her picture from the sets of NP51 showing a clapboard officially announcing the commencement of the shoot. While sharing the photo, the actress wrote, "And so it begins. NP51. There's something very special about finding yourself in a place you've admired from afar for so long. To now be a small part of it feels like a very special first for me. So grateful for this on," wrote Rukmini Vasanth.
The project is backed by acclaimed filmmaker-producer Martin Prakkat, known for films such as Charlie and Nayattu, while Nashid, who was among the writers of Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey, is directing the film.
Rukmini is now also gearing up for 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups.' Starring Yash in the titular role, the trailer of Toxic presents the film as a grand, action-packed story filled with emotion. It explores themes of love, power, betrayal and redemption.
At the heart of Toxic lies the complex relationship between Raya and his son, Ticket, adding an emotional core to the larger-than-life gangster world.
The trailer also introduces a web of relationships and rivalries, with glimpses into the character arc of Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi. The ensemble makes a strong impression, with each actor bringing distinct shades and intensity to their characters.
Shot simultaneously in English and Kannada, 'Toxic' will also be released in dubbed versions in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam, taking its world of action, thrill and larger-than-life storytelling to audiences across languages.
Produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, the film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on August 26.

Rukmini's journey from Kannada films to pan-Indian projects is inspiring. Her role in Toxic looks intense, and now this with Nivin. The Malayalam industry is lucky to have such fresh talent. Hoping NP51 gives us a memorable story! 🙌
Great to see Nivin Pauly collaborating with Martin Prakkat again. Nashid's writing for JJJJH was sharp, so expectations are high. Rukmini is a wonderful addition. Wishing the team a smooth shoot and a great theatrical release.
The way Rukmini describes her experience on the sets is so heartfelt. It's lovely to see someone genuinely grateful for their craft. Also, Toxic's trailer was a visual treat — with Yash and such a stellar cast, August 26 can't come soon enough! 🔥
Nivin Pauly's choice of scripts has been inconsistent lately, but with Martin Prakkat backing this, it might be a comeback vehicle. Rukmini is a breath of fresh air. Just hoping the director brings something new to the table rather than formulaic drama.
Malayalam cinema is in a golden phase with such collaborations. Rukmini's rise is a testament to her talent. Also, the multi-language release of Toxic shows how Indian cinema is truly unifying. Best wishes to the entire team of NP51! 🇮🇳
