Kuberaa, starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna, directed by Sekhar Kammula, is a big-budget film released in theatres on June 20, 2025. Like many of its contemporaries, it became a victim of piracy soon after release. At that time, the pirated versions circulating online were of extremely poor quality. However, things have taken a turn for the worse, a high-quality, near-hd pirated version of Kuberaa is now available online, according to M9 News. This development poses a serious threat to both theatrical footfall and Ott viewership.

Kuberaa Ott Release Update

Kuberaa’s Ott rights were acquired by Amazon Prime Video. As expected, the film gears up for its much-awaited Ott release four weeks after its theatrical release. Amazon Prime Video has also shared an official post about the same, announcing the digital release on July 18, 2025.

The Role Portrayed by Dhanush in Kuberaa Was Initially Offered to This Actor (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Dhanush has been receiving positive responses from the audience for his performance in Kuberaa. However, according to a speculative report by Gulte, the role was initially offered to Vijay Deverakonda, who turned it down. You might be wondering why; here’s what we know.

Why did Vijay Deverakonda reject the role in Kuberaa?

The role in question is that of a beggar. Vijay Deverakonda was initially approached because Kuberaa director Sekhar Kammula wanted a star with mass appeal. However, Vijay was under the impression that the audience might not receive him well in such a role, and he wasn’t willing to risk alienating his core fan base. But with Dhanush, the director got exactly what he was looking for.

Kuberaa Box Office: Heading For A Big Loss In Tamil Nadu Despite Dhanush’s Presence? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Kuberaa, starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna, has shown different trends in the Telugu and Tamil versions. In the Telugu version, the film exceeded expectations, and on day 8, it created history by becoming Dhanush’s first film to hit the 50 crore net collection. However, in Tamil, it has yet to touch the 20 crore mark. This has now made it a big loss venture for the buyers in Tamil Nadu. Keep reading for a detailed box office report!

Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the crime drama received mostly positive reviews from critics and audience feedback. This favorable reaction pushed its potential in the Telugu market, but the same wasn’t seen in the Tamil market. The majority of the film’s Tamil shows are running in Tamil Nadu, and despite the presence of Dhanush,...

Most Indian mainstream dramas tend to lean into over-the-top melodrama. But films that manage to mask their implausibility with convincing performances and emotional truth behind some scenes earn our empathy, and we walk away feeling like we’ve watched a great film. Others, despite having extraordinary stories, sometimes fail to transport those emotions effectively. “Kuberaa” (2025) lands somewhere in the middle.

The story begins with Deepak, a former Cbi officer, who is sentenced to a decade in prison for his integrity—an irony at the outset. On the other side is Neeraj (played by Jim Sarbh), a billionaire celebrity with eyes on a newly discovered oil reserve in the Bay of Bengal. To seize control of it and legitimize his black money, Neeraj recruits Deepak to accomplish the task. Deepak, who has long lost faith in the system and has reunited with his family, agrees. What follows is a daring plan...

Kuberaa Hindi Trailer Review: Dhanush Is A Bhikhaari So Bhaari That I Am Not Interested In Any Other Frame! (Photo Credit –Facebook)

If there is one actor who will always surprise you when he arrives on screen, then it definitely is Dhanush for me! The actor has yet again put his best skills to use while playing a beggar in Kuberaa, and the trailer of the film relies heavily on the superstar’s shoulder, so much so that I am not interested in the rest of the cast at all!

Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the film stars Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Rashmika Mandanna, and the music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad. But apart from Dhanush, the only thing that will hold your attention in this trailer is Dsp’s music!

The trailer screams the central theme of the film with immense clarity – plunging into the dark and murky world of a financial scam.

It was anything but a lullaby when the thumping beats of ‘Pippi Pippi Dum Dum Dum’ from ‘Kuberaa’ dropped in Mumbai amidst massive star-studded fanfare. The atmosphere turned electric as Kuberaa stars Nagarjuna, Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna lit up the stage, bringing alive the magic of this much-awaited cinematic spectacle.

The event kicked off with an unexpected twist: not one but two back-to-back screenings of the Kuberaa teaser, as the audience erupted into cheers demanding an encore. The teaser, raw and riveting, was met with deafening applause and whistles, setting the tone for the big reveal.

Then came the showstopper — the Pippi Pippi Dum Dum Dum. A break up song, high-energy number that turns the nursery rhyme on its head, the track captures the chaotic soul of ‘Kuberaa’.

Post the screening, the Kuberaa cast took center stage for a spirited media interaction. Nagarjuna, making a rare promotional appearance, spoke straight from the heart.

Director Sekhar Kammula: “The film will come out really well. This is my promise to all of you.” At the grand audio launch of the much-anticipated pan-Indian film Kuberaa held in Chennai, director Sekhar Kammula made a heartfelt promise to the audience, saying, “The film will come out really well. This is my promise to all of you.” His words brought a wave of excitement and confidence among fans, who are eagerly waiting for the film’s release.

This film marks the first collaboration between Sekhar Kammula and National Award-winning actor Dhanush, two talented artists known for their deep and meaningful work. It also marks a first-time collaboration with veteran actor Nagarjuna, who is joining forces with both Sekhar Kammula and Dhanush for the very first time. Kammula’s genuine belief in the project was clear throughout the event, adding to the growing buzz surrounding Kuberaa.

Allu Arjun’s Aarya 3 In The Making(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Arya (2004) is widely regarded as the first major hit in Allu Arjun’s career and has since earned cult classic status. It also marked Sukumar’s directorial debut. Devi Sri Prasad’s music, composed for the film, remains popular even after two decades. Produced by Dil Raju, Arya was a significant milestone for everyone involved.

Given its success, a sequel was inevitable. Arya 2 was released in 2009, reuniting Allu Arjun, Sukumar, and Devi Sri Prasad in their original roles. However, despite the anticipation, the sequel failed to recreate the original’s magic. While not a complete failure, it didn’t quite meet the high expectations set by its predecessor. Now, nearly 15 years after the release of Arya 2, news has emerged that a third installment, Arya 3, is supposedly in the works, according to entertainment portal TeluguCinema.
