Bold claims about Dhanush made in respect to 'Kuberaa's performance by director Sekhar Kammula

Filmmaker Sekhar Kammula made headlines during the audio launch of his upcoming film Kuberaa, held in Chennai, where he spoke highly of the project and its lead actor, Dhanush. With the venue filled with fans, media, and film insiders, Kammula’s words stood out for their conviction and clarity.

Addressing the gathering, the director said,
"I feel Dhanush will win another National Award; no one except him could have done this role."

This remark has sparked widespread conversations among film watchers and critics. Many see it as a strong endorsement of Dhanush’s performance, while others view it as a reflection of Kammula’s confidence in his lead actor’s commitment to the character.

Kuberaa marks the first time that Sekhar Kammula and Dhanush have come together for a project. Both artists bring distinct sensibilities to cinema—Kammula is noted for his grounded narratives, and Dhanush has built a reputation for portraying layered characters with depth and restraint. Their coming together has generated interest not just in South India but also across the national film audience.

The audio launch event was also the formal introduction of the film’s music to the public. Devi Sri Prasad, the film’s composer, delivered a diverse set of tracks that were showcased during the evening. The songs, ranging from energetic to emotional, were met with enthusiastic applause, and early reactions suggest the soundtrack may enjoy strong popularity across regions.

Production houses Sri Venkateswara Cinemas LLP and Amigos Creations Pvt Ltd have backed the film. Producers Suniel Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao are steering the release strategy, which includes simultaneous premieres in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Set for a worldwide theatrical release on 20th June 2025, Kuberaa is being positioned as a large-scale multilingual release. As the film enters its final phase of promotions, Kammula’s public appreciation for Dhanush’s portrayal has added another dimension to audience expectations.

With the release date nearing, all eyes are now on how this collaboration unfolds on screen.
