A Journey of Growth
“Over a year ago, I had the privilege of joining the team of Kantara: Chapter 1. It has challenged me, taught me, improved the way I approach my craft, and given me a new perspective on life. This film is a labour of love, painstakingly brought to life by the hundreds of people who worked day and night on it — I am so grateful to have been a part of this mesmerising film,” she wrote, expressing heartfelt gratitude.
Tribute to Rishab Shetty
Rukmini reserved her deepest appreciation for the film’s visionary director, Rishab Shetty.
“Rishab sir has been the rock of this project. Sir, your hard work and leadership of this magnificent film has been so inspiring. Thank you for your faith in me and for helping me through this journey,” she added.
Gratitude to Hombale Films
The actor also extended her thanks to the Hombale Films team — Vijay Kiragandur, Chaluve Gowda, Adarsh, and the many unsung heroes who toiled behind the camera to shape the film into a cinematic experience for audiences worldwide.
