Rukmini Vasanth Starts Shooting for Nivin Pauly’s Malayalam Project NP51

The announcement could broaden pan‑South casting by naming Martin Prakkat as producer with Nashid Famy directing.

Overview

  • Rukmini Vasanth confirmed the start of principal photography by posting a set photo with a clapboard marked NP51, which she shared on Tuesday to announce filming has begun.
  • The project lists Martin Prakkat and Pauly Jr Pictures as backers and names Nashid Famy as director, though production is currently operating under the working title NP51.
  • Rukmini’s involvement marks her Malayalam debut and comes while she is also set to appear in Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups and Jr NTR’s Dragon, underscoring her growing pan‑South profile.
  • No plot details, character names or release date have been disclosed yet and reports note an industry puja was held earlier in pre-production.
  • Watch for forthcoming updates on casting, story and a formal title because those announcements will determine the film’s schedule and its impact on cross‑industry casting trends.
