Veteran actor and South Indian megastar Nagarjuna Akkineni shared that collaborating with director Shekhar Kammula had been a long-standing aspiration, one that finally materialised in their forthcoming multilingual film ‘Kubera’.
Nagarjuna, who has always been very choosy about his film selection, was caught in a completely different mood this time for ‘Kubera’. Talking about his pan-India blockbuster, the actor stated, “in this film, I completely surrendered myself.”
“I told Sekhar – I have surrendered to you. Do what you want with me. I have no issues, I don’t even want to see the monitor. Now you have to live up to my expectations,” he laughed, adding a touch of warmth and humour to the moment.
“Sekhar Kammula, whom I’ve wanted to work with for the last 15 years, came to me and said, ‘Would you like to do this role?’ I didn’t even ask much about what he was going to offer me – I just said yes”, he added candidly.
Presented by Sri Venkateswara Cinemas LLP and Amigos Creations Pvt Ltd., the film is produced by Sunil Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao with Vipul Agarwal and Manish Vasisht serving as co-producers.
‘Kubera’ stars Nagarjuna Akkineni, Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna in pivotal roles. The music score is presented by Devi Sri Prasad. The film Kubera will be released in five languages - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, on June 20, 2025.
