Kuberaa’s First Big Win Came When Nagarjuna Said Yes: Chiranjeevi

National Award-winning actor Dhanush, Tollywood star Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna shine in Sekhar Kammula’s gripping film Kuberaa. The film not only wins hearts but also dominates the box office with powerful performances and emotional depth.

Chiranjeevi Calls Nagarjuna’s Decision the Film’s Real Beginning

Kuberaa has achieved something rare, a content-rich film that impresses both critics and audiences. At a grand success meet, Megastar Chiranjeevi, who attended as the chief guest, credited Nagarjuna’s decision to play Deepak as the first major breakthrough for the film.

Chiranjeevi praised director Sekhar Kammula for making a bold casting choice. “Nag told me during the shoot that he was taking on a very unusual role, one that many heroes might avoid. His decision to go ahead with it became the film’s real launchpad,” Chiranjeevi said. He also applauded Dhanush for his dedication, stating, “No one except Dhanush could have portrayed that beggar role so convincingly, not even me. If he doesn’t win Best Actor for this, then awards lose their meaning.”

Kuberaa Crosses Rs 50 Crore as Global Audience Embraces It

Audiences around the world have embraced Kuberaa. The film crossed the Rs 50 crore mark in a short time and continues to draw strong crowds. With honest storytelling and intense emotions, the film proves that content-rich cinema can still bring people to theatres—even without massive budgets or over-the-top visuals.

The Team Shares Their Honest Journey

Director Sekhar Kammula admitted that he initially feared how audiences would receive the film. But he now feels overwhelmed by their support. “People now call Nag’s role a game-changer, and they describe Dhanush’s performance as god-like,” he said.

Dhanush, who has already won four National Awards, said the film’s success means a lot to him. “These days, impressing audiences is tough. But this film shows that people still connect with emotional and truthful storytelling.”

Nagarjuna called the project life-changing. “Sekhar brought out a version of me I didn’t even know existed. His vision gave this film its soul.” He also praised Rashmika Mandanna, saying her performance reminded him of Sridevi in Kshana Kshanam.

Kuberaa Pushes Indian Cinema Into Fresh Territory
