Nithiin’s Alias Rukmini gets its first single date, October 27

Nithiin’s film Alias Rukmini will release its first song, Rukku Rukku Rukmini, on October 27. The makers marked the occasion by unveiling an announcement poster on Saturday, and fans now have a firm date to circle on the calendar.

The film has been drawing attention since its production stage. Promotional material released recently also received a warm response, which has kept interest in the project steady ahead of its music rollout.

A writer with a curious habit

Nithiin plays Krishna, a writer whose stories carry a surprising byline. He writes them under the name of his wife, Rukmini. The film builds its story around that choice and asks why he does it and what lies behind it.

That question sits at the center of the film’s pitch. Rather than treating the premise as a gimmick, the story explores the reasons behind the pen name, which gives the narrative its emotional hook and its title.

Behind the camera

Muralikanth Devasoth, known for Dandora, is directing the film and also handles the writing. The director’s dual role signals a project where the screenplay and the vision come from the same mind.

Deepthi Ganta is producing the film, and it is presented by Nani. Deepthi is Nani’s sister, and the presentation credit places the film under the banner of a name that carries weight with audiences.

Vijay Bulganin has composed the music. With the first single arriving on October 27, the soundtrack becomes the first real window into how the film sounds and feels.

Cast and the road to December

Aafiya Syed is the leading lady opposite Nithiin. The film’s cast and crew have been presented as a unit, with Nithiin anchoring the story from the writer’s chair to the lead role.

The movie is set to hit screens on December 4. Between now and then, the song release will likely serve as the main promotional push, giving audiences a chance to judge the tone before the full film arrives.

The makers describe Alias Rukmini as a feel-good family entertainer.

That description places the film squarely in the family audience space. It also suggests that the writer’s unusual habit will be handled with warmth rather than darkness, a tone that could make the project appealing to viewers across age groups.

What to watch for

The October 27 release is the immediate event. Viewers will want to hear how Vijay Bulganin’s music fits the film’s emotional core, and whether the song reflects the feel-good mood the makers are promising.

The bigger question remains the one the film itself poses. Why does Krishna write under Rukmini’s name, and what story sits behind that decision? The answer will come with the release, and the first single is the first clue.
