Kuberaa trailer: Dhanush plays a beggar who challenges status quo; Nagarjuna believes in the power of money
Kuberaa trailer:The trailer for Sekhar Kammula's Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna and Jim Sarbh-starrer Kuberaa was released at a pre-release event held in Hyderabad on Sunday. SS Rajamouli was the chief guest. Expectations are high on the film as it's Dhanush's debut in Telugu and Sekhar's second film in Tamil after Anaamika.

The trailer begins with Dhanush, who plays a beggar, wondering about the value of crores. Nagarjuna states that in this country, money and power work, not ethics or justice, as history has shown. While supportive of Dhanush, he also seems to have a grey side. Rashmika's character seems to be someone whom Dhanush's character has faith in, despite her insisting otherwise. She also believes the rich and powerful will always rule the world. A character even wonders how a beggar threw a whole government into risk. It ends with Dhanush challenging the status quo.
The pre-release event of Kuberaa was initially scheduled to be held on 13 June but was postponed after the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. The film's team made the announcement and wrote, 'The pre-release event of Kuberaa, scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed in light of the tragic Ahmedabad flight crash. We stand in solidarity with the grieving families.' They also added, 'Our hearts go out to all affected by the devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad. We extend our sincere condolences to the families and friends of the victims. May you find strength in this difficult time.'
Kuberaa is slated for release on 20 June and is produced by Suniel Narang and Puskur Rammohan Rao of Amigos Creations. The film has music composed by Devi Sri Prasad. Dhanush, who essayed the role of a beggar in the film, recalled shooting at a dumpyard for hours. At the launch of the song Pippi Pippi Dum Dum Dum, he said, 'To see another part of the world, a sight which you're not exposed to... You're always in your comfort zone, like you do only what's convenient, you're protected. I come from very humble roots.'
He also said that shooting for Kuberaa took him back to his childhood, 'Today, I'm here by God's grace. I've seen that, and to go back there to see that world again, it was very enlightening and nostalgic. I'm very thankful to this film for so many reasons, but it takes me back to my childhood as well as one of them.'

15 years later, are Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya set for a comeback together?
'Ye Maaya Chesave' Set for Re-Release Clashing Stars and Crowded Screens You Might Also Like: Samantha Ruth Prabhu's regal saree look is right out of a dream. Guess the price tag In 2010, Telugu cinema witnessed the beginning of one of its most iconic love stories—both on and off screen. A young Naga Chaitanya and a debutante Samantha Ruth Prabhu first met on the sets of Ye Maaya Chesave , a film that would go on to change their lives forever. Their chemistry was electric, the romance spellbinding, and what began as reel turned real. The couple dated, fell in love, and tied the knot in 2017, becoming a beloved duo for millions. But in 2021, their fairy tale came to a bittersweet end with a public separation that left fans then, Chaitanya and Samantha have taken very different paths. He has moved on and remarried, while she has redefined herself as a fiercely independent voice in Indian cinema. They've never been spotted together since the split—on screen or off. But now, whispers of an unexpected reunion have stirred emotions across the years since its original release, Ye Maaya Chesave is all set to return to theatres on July 18, 2025. The film, a timeless romantic drama, marked Samantha's debut and established Chaitanya as a charming lead. With A.R. Rahman's soul-stirring music and director Gautham Menon's emotionally rich storytelling, the film is considered a modern classic in Telugu announcement of its re-release has done more than evoke nostalgia—it's sparked massive speculation about a potential reunion. Fans are now wondering: will Chaitanya and Samantha come together to promote the film that began it all? While there's no official confirmation, the very idea has set social media ablaze. A post from a trade analyst quoted by Pinkvilla noted that the buzz surrounding a possible joint appearance is 'unmatched,' adding that 'this film holds deep sentimental value for both.'There's a catch. Industry insiders suggest that Pawan Kalyan's long-delayed epic Hari Hara Veera Mallu might also release on the same day. If that happens, the screen count for Ye Maaya Chesave could shrink significantly, forcing a potential change in re-release plans. However, fans remain optimistic, not just for the film's return but for the emotional possibility it many, the re-release is more than just a film event—it's a time capsule, a rekindling of memories, and perhaps, a moment of healing. As fans hold their breath in hope, one question looms larger than ever:Could love—or at least, cinema—bring Chay and Sam together one more time?

In Ace, Vijay plays Kannan, also known as Bolt, who dreams of starting a new life abroad but ends up entangled in dangerous affairs. Rukmini Vasanth stars as his lover, Rukku, while Yogi Babu plays Arivukarasa (Arivu). The supporting cast includes Babloo Prithiveeraj and Divya Pillai. Written, directed, and produced by Arumuga Kumar, the film struggled at the box office, earning less than ₹ 10 crore net across India.
