Yashna Muthuluri in saree stills at Nilakanta Movie Press Meet

Yashna Muthuluri captured the attention of the media at the press meet for her upcoming film, Nilakanta (also referred to as Neelakanta or The Essence of Karma). The event, held in late December 2025, brought the cast and crew together to discuss the unique village-based drama ahead of its theatrical release on January 2, 2026. Yashna Muthuluri looks effortlessly elegant at the Nilakanta Movie Press Meet, wearing a classic cream Kerala saree with a subtle gold border paired with a deep olive green striped blouse that adds a contemporary contrast. Styled with traditional gold earrings and minimal accessories, the outfit perfectly blends timeless South Indian grace with modern sophistication, making it a standout ethnic look for press events and promotional appearances. During the meet, Yashna was seen sharing playful moments with her co-star Master Mahendran, often posing with "finger heart" gestures for the photographers. In her interactions, she expressed her excitement about the film's "unique drama" and the emotional depth of her character in this village-set story directed by Rakesh Madhavan.
