Actor Nithiin has reportedly reduced his remuneration for his upcoming film Alias Rukmini, with industry reports suggesting that he has agreed to charge ₹4.5 crore for the project. While the makers have not officially confirmed the figure, the reported pay cut has become a major talking point in Tollywood.
The development comes at an important phase in Nithiin’s career. After a string of underperforming films at the box office, the actor is said to be focusing on content-driven projects that offer something fresh to audiences. Trade circles believe the decision to lower his remuneration reflects his confidence in the film and his willingness to back a promising script.
Alias Rukmini was officially announced earlier this week with an intriguing title glimpse unveiled by actor Nani, who is presenting the film under his banner, Unanimous Productions. The film is written and directed by Murali Kanth Devasoth, who earned critical acclaim for Dhandoraa. Produced by Deepthi Ganta, the project has already generated curiosity for its unique premise and distinctive title.
The announcement glimpse introduces Nithiin as Krishna, a seemingly ordinary mathematics teacher who secretly writes popular romantic and sensual novels under the pen name “Rukmini.” When asked who Rukmini is, Krishna simply replies, “My wife,” leaving audiences intrigued about the mystery surrounding the title. The unusual concept and playful storytelling have sparked positive discussions across social media.
The film is currently in the pre-production stage, with regular shooting expected to begin soon. Music is being composed by Vijai Bulganin, while Jomon T. John handles cinematography. The makers are expected to announce the remaining cast and release schedule in the coming months.
Although the reported remuneration of ₹4.5 crore remains unofficial, the buzz surrounding Alias Rukmini continues to grow. With a fresh concept, an acclaimed filmmaker, and Nani backing the project, the film is being seen as one of Nithiin’s most unconventional choices in recent years.
