Manaswini Balabommala is gearing up for her big-screen debut with the Telugu film “Kokkoroko.” On the occasion of Sankranthi, the makers released a special poster that instantly drew attention with its warm, earthy, and culturally rooted presentation.

Prior to entering cinema, Manaswini honed her craft as a well-trained and versatile performer. She has a strong theatre background, having played lead roles such as Jo in Little Women and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing. She is also trained in Perini Natyam, a classical dance form, and has formal training in Carnatic music, adding further depth to her artistic credentials. She has performed a devotional piece and anchored major school events in Glendale Academy.

“Kokkoroko” marks the production debut of Ramesh Varma, who is backing the film under his banner RV Film House.
