In 2025, she ventured into Tamil cinema with Ace, playing the role of Rukku opposite Vijay Sethupathi,[18] and co-starring Sivakarthikeyan in Madharaasi, directed by A. R. Murugadoss. Both Ace and Madharaasi failed at the box office, though her performance was well received in both the films. [19] The same year, she returned to Kannada cinema with the film Kantara: Chapter 1, a prequel to the film Kantara (2022). The film went on to become her highest grossing and most successful film; in a review of the film for The Hindu, Vivek M.V. stated: "Rukmini Vasanth, in her first role that pushes her abilities since the Sapta Sagaradaache Ello films, stands out with strong dialogue delivery."[20]

She is also a part of the ensemble cast announced for Geetu Mohandas's upcoming film Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, alongside Yash.[21]
