After helming a series of love stories, director Sekhar Kammula takes a bold new turn with “Kuberaa” featuring Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. It is a gritty political-societal drama that dives deep into the intersections of money, power, and justice.
The trailer opens with a hard-hitting line from Nagarjuna’s character: “History shows that only money and power work in this country, not justice and honesty.” Nagarjuna plays a power broker who shelters Deva, a beggar with an unknown past. But the very man he helped has now become a threat—to him and to the powerful forces he serves.
Rashmika Mandanna plays a grounded, everyday woman whose character is somehow connected to Dhanush’s, and their link seems crucial to the larger narrative. The trailer hints at a layered plot where the marginalized rise against a deeply unjust system.
Dhanush appears to deliver yet another intense and transformative performance, while Nagarjuna impresses with a subdued, realistic portrayal. Rashmika brings an understated strength to her role.
Devi Sri Prasad’s background score elevates the trailer’s emotional and dramatic beats.
With its intriguing premise, the trailer for “Kuberaa” sets high expectations. The film is slated for release on June 20, 2025.
