Dhanush-Nagarjuna’s ‘Kuberaa’ Hits Theatres, OTT Release Soon

Kuberaa, starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna, released in theatres today, June 20, 2025. Directed by Fidaa fame Sekhar Kammula, the film is a social drama that has been in production for two years. With music composed by Devi Sri Prasad and Rashmika Mandanna playing the female lead, the film brings together a powerful cast that has sparked major buzz.

What’s grabbing headlines is Kuberaa’s record-breaking OTT deal. Amazon Prime Video has reportedly acquired the film’s digital streaming rights for a massive Rs 50 crore—making it the highest OTT deal for a film starring both Dhanush and Nagarjuna. This deal reflects the film's high expectations and strong market appeal across languages.

Fans won't have to wait long to watch it at home. According to the makers, Kuberaa is set to begin streaming on Prime Video in the third week of July 2025, less than a month after its theatrical debut.

Promos for the film have already received an enthusiastic response. Nagarjuna is seen in a never-before-seen role, while Rashmika’s character is said to include unexpected twists. The film, aimed at Telugu and Tamil audiences, is projected to be one of the biggest box office successes of the year.

Kuberaa kicks off in an unexpected way—with beggars and a fallen CBI officer, not boardrooms or business tycoons. Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the film blends corruption, oil deals, and rebellion. Dhanush shines as Deva, a quiet man pulled into a scam involving a hidden oil reserve in the Bay of Bengal.

Jim Sarbh plays Neeraj Mitra, a cold corporate villain who discovers the oil and plans to profit using Deepak (Nagarjuna), an honest ex-CBI officer who lost everything. Deepak ropes in beggars for the scam, thinking no one would suspect them. But Deva’s entry changes everything.

Dhanush delivers a deeply emotional performance, especially in a quiet scene involving a bank statement—it hits hard. Nagarjuna impresses in a morally grey role, far from his earlier romantic image. Jim Sarbh makes a lasting impact with limited screen time. Rashmika Mandanna adds warmth but feels underused.

Visually, the film stands out, showing both gritty streets and grand oil rigs with realism.
