Mumbai was abuzz today with the music launch of Kuberaa, bringing together its stellar cast including Nagarjuna, Dhanush, and Rashmika Mandanna. As the film gears up for its June 20, 2025 release, the event provided a platform for playful exchanges, with Nagarjuna revealing his hilarious secret to youth and Rashmika reacting humbly to being called the number one actor.When asked about his fitness at the Kuberaa music launch, Nagarjuna humorously replied, “It’s just a joke, don’t take it seriously. It’s just that everybody around me aged, that’s it.”At the Kuberaa event, Rashmika Mandanna responded to being called the “number one actor in a really long time” with a laugh, saying, “Ma’am, the way you are saying it, no, I’m feeling a lot of pressure.” She admitted the comment made her consider giving an “inspirational answer.” However, Rashmika humbly added that she feels she has “only just begun” and doesn’t quite understand the “race” to be number one.“I’m like, should I give a very inspirational answer or motivational answer? I don’t know. Thank you for saying that. But I feel like I have honestly just started, because I don’t know what this whole number 1 situation is. Because we are doing films in the South, we are doing films in Bollywood. So I don’t know what this race is about. But I know for sure that I have just started,” said the actress.The film Kuberaa also features Jim Sarbh and Dilip Tahil in prominent roles and was simultaneously shot in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Last month, the makers released the film’s first song, “Poyiraa Mama,” which garnered positive responses from the audience. Dhanush himself lent his voice to the Tamil and Telugu versions of the track, while Nakash Aziz sang the Hindi rendition. The soundtrack for Kuberaa was composed by Devi Sri Prasad, with Niketh Bommireddy handling cinematography and Karthika Srinivas responsible for editing.Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the highly anticipated film Kuberaa features a stellar cast including Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna, Jim Sarbh, and Dalip Tahil. While it was originally planned for an April release, the film is now set to hit theaters on June 20, 2025. Following its theatrical run, Kuberaa will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, which has acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights.Kuberaa delves into the intricate themes of power and wealth, centering on its diverse cast. Dhanush portrays Deva, a homeless man from Mumbai’s Dharavi slums who navigates a transformative journey to become a formidable mafia leader. Nagarjuna takes on a complex, layered character whose decisions have far-reaching consequences. Rashmika Mandanna plays a woman quietly yearning for more than her middle-class existence offers, while Jim Sarbh brings a blend of charm and sharp edges to his role as a high-flying, morally ambiguous businessman.
