Young and promising talent Manaswini Balabommala is gearing up to make her Telugu film debut with Kokkoroko, marking a significant phase in her creative career. On the occasion of Sankranthi, the makers unveiled a special poster that caught attention for its warm, rooted, and festive appeal.
The Sankranthi poster also revealed Manaswini’s first official look from the film, featuring her alongside senior actor Samuthirakani and other cast members. Though her role is a guest appearance, it marks her formal entry into Telugu cinema and has already generated positive buzz within film circles.
Before stepping into films, Manaswini established herself as a trained and versatile performer. She has strong theatre experience, having played lead roles such as Jo in Little Women and Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing. In addition to acting, she is trained in Perini Natyam, a classical dance form, and has formal training in Carnatic music.

Produced by Rekha Varma and Kurapati Sireesha, Kokkoroko has completed its shooting and is scheduled for a 2026 release under the Neelladri Production banner. With music composed by Sankeerthan, the film promises fresh storytelling, strong visuals, and emotional depth—making Manaswini Balabommala’s debut a noteworthy addition to the project.
