Sekhar Kammula is a pure soul, I’m 2000% Confident About Kuberaa: Dhanush

Nagarjuna turns nostalgic, expresses gratitude for the love he’s received from Chennai audiences

Dhanush is a phenomenal persona, Kuberaa is a very brilliant film: Sekhar Kammula

The much-awaited Telugu-Tamil bilingual film Kuberaa, starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna and directed by Sekhar Kammula, celebrated its audio launch in grand fashion in Chennai. The event saw an enthusiastic turnout of fans, media, and prominent figures from the film industry.

The star-studded evening featured appearances by lead actors Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna, director Sekhar Kammula, music composer Devi Sri Prasad, producers Suniel Narang, Jhanvi Narang, Bharat Narang, and Simran Narang, cinematographer Niketh Bommi, production designer Thotta Tharani, and lyricists Viveka, Chandrabose, and Nanda Kishore. Each of them shared their heartfelt thoughts and excitement for the film.

Responding to rapturous cheers from the crowd, Rashmika Mandanna playfully declared, “I love you too!” She expressed her gratitude to Sekhar Kammula for bringing her into his cinematic world and shared her wish to collaborate with Dhanush again—this time in a full-fledged romantic film.

Music composer Devi Sri Prasad thanked fans for the overwhelming love shown toward the film’s tracks, Poyiraa Mama and Trance of Kuberaa. Reflecting on his musical journey with Dhanush from Kutty to Venghai and now Kuberaa, he said he’s eagerly anticipating another successful collaboration.

Director Sekhar Kammula heaped praise on Dhanush, calling him a “phenomenal persona” and a rare all-rounder—actor, director, producer, singer, and lyricist. Speaking with deep conviction, he said, “Kuberaa is a brilliant film. It is a very brilliant film. It is a very, very, very brilliant film.” He also extended heartfelt thanks to his team and gave special recognition to costume designer Kavya Sriram, calling her work award-worthy.

Nagarjuna took a nostalgic turn, reminiscing about his Chennai roots—born in Adyar, educated at Guindy Engineering College, married into a Chennai family, and having launched his career in the city. Expressing gratitude for the love he’s received from Chennai audiences over the years, he teased fans with a hint: “Right after Kuberaa, Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie is waiting to surprise audiences!”

As emotions peaked, Dhanush took the stage, opening with a powerful chant, “Om Namah Shivaay.” Reflecting on the current state of the world, he said, “This is Kalikaalam, a time when hatred, negativity, and jealousy thrive, and evil seems to triumph over good.” He praised Sekhar Kammula as “a pure soul, like a divine angel,” and thanked producers Suniel and Jhanvi Narang for their unwavering faith in Kuberaa and their continued support of meaningful cinema.

Sharing a deeply personal moment, Dhanush recalled his first scene for the film—barefoot under the scorching Tirupati sun, dressed in rags, portraying a beggar. The experience reminded him of life’s essential truths, much like his time filming Raanjhaana in Banaras, amidst funeral pyres. “Greed, money, worldly pleasures—they’re nothing,” he said. “What matters is a pure soul. Kuberaa will make you realize that. I am 2000% confident about the impact this film will have.”

With a passionate cast and crew, Kuberaa promises not just entertainment, but a deeply moving cinematic journey. The film is set to release on June 20th.
