‘Kubera' promises emotion and grandeur
The movie 'Kubera' has turned out to be very amazing. The emotion in 'Kubera' will connect with everyone. It will give a very different experience to the audience, say producers Sunil Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao. Superstar Dhanush, King Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna star in the highly anticipated pan-India movie 'Kubera', directed by Sekhar Kammula. With an amazing cast, 'Kubera' is set to be a game-changer in Indian cinema. The promotional content of 'Kubera' that has already been released has received a tremendous response. Songs 'Poira Mama', 'Trans of Kubera', and 'PP Dum Dum' are trending on the music charts with a chartbuster response. Sunil Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao are producing this film with a high budget and high production values on SVCLLP, in association with Sekhar Kammula's Amigos Creations Private Limited. 'Kubera' is set to release grandly worldwide on June 20 in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. On this occasion, producers Sunil Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao shared the highlights of the film at a press conference. How did the 'Kubera' project materialise? Sekhar Kammula told us this idea after 'Love Story'. He thought that Dhanush would be perfect for this story. He narrated it to Dhanush, who listened for 20 minutes and immediately signed on. That's how the project began. Dhanush garu is a pan-India star. He has also made films in Hindi. Nagarjuna garu has been in Hindi films forever. Everyone knows Rashmika garu—she's a popular actress across India. This film was made with such a big star cast according to the story. Dhanush garu, Nagarjuna garu, Rashmika garu—everyone supported it wonderfully. 'Kubera' is a straight Telugu and Tamil film. We are dubbing it into Hindi and releasing it. The first copy is already ready. The movie has turned out amazing. This is the first time Sekhar Kammula is making a film with such a big star cast. How different is this going to be? Sekhar Kammula is our favourite director. Every time I watch his movie 'Leader', it still feels very fresh. This time, he has made a film with a bigger star cast. It will definitely give the audience a very new experience. This is a very different movie. Sekhar Kammula is a filmmaker who sees stars as characters and makes films. You'll see real characters in this film too. What is the 'Kubera' conflict? The richest man in the world vs. the poorest man on the streets. That is the central conflict. What was the element that struck you in the story of 'Kubera'? Sekhar makes films that touch the audience emotionally and leave them with a good feeling. This film is no exception. The emotions in it will connect with the audience. What challenges did you face while shooting? Shooting in real locations is always a challenge. We shot in actual slums, garbage dumps, and dumping yards. Shooting in Bombay, especially on real streets, was another big challenge. We never worried about the budget. We did not compromise at all on what the content required. We are releasing the film on a grand scale. It will be released in about 1,600 screens. I'm confident it will have a wonderful opening. How was Nagarjuna brought into the project? We always wanted to work with Nagarjuna garu. Sekhar garu couldn't imagine anyone else in this role except him. Nagarjuna sir liked the story and acted wonderfully. His performance was so good, it's hard to imagine anyone else in that role. What about Devi Sri Prasad's music? Devi Sri Prasad is an excellent music director. He composed many different songs for this film. The background score is amazing as well. Dhanush sang two songs. That was a collective decision by the director and Devi Sri. Are you releasing it in Tamil as well? No, we've handed over the Tamil distribution to a distributor named Rahul. Sunil garu, do you plan to make your daughter Janhvi a producer? Absolutely. She is very interested in film production and is very active. My brother's son is also interested in film production. What about your next projects? We are going to do another film with Sekhar Kammula. However, the hero has not been finalised yet.

John Abraham's monthly rental income from his Mumbai properties could be someone's yearly salary
Bollywood actor and producer John Abraham, best known for his performance in The Diplomat, is not only making headlines for his films but also for his sharp business sense. Recently, the actor leased out three luxury apartments in Mumbai's Bandra West for a combined monthly rent of Rs 6.30 lakh, a sum that mirrors what many professionals across the country earn in an entire year. The properties are located in the Sea Glimpse Co-operative Housing Society, one of the most upscale residential areas on Bandstand. Details of the Lease Agreement The rental deal was officially registered on May 29, 2025. According to documents reviewed by Square Yards, the lease was formalised with a stamp duty of Rs 1.12 lakh and a registration fee of Rs 1,000. A hefty security deposit of Rs 36 lakh was also collected from the tenants. The monthly rent of Rs 6.30 lakh is applicable for the first year and includes annual increases. For the first two years, the rent will rise by 8% annually, followed by a 5% annual increase for the remaining two years. By the final year of the agreement, the rent is expected to reach Rs 8 lakh per month. Over the five-year lease period, the total rental income is projected to be around Rs 4.3 crore. Bandra's Premium Real Estate Market The tenants named in the lease documents are Varun Talukdar and Pooja Gupta. Bandra West, where these properties are located, continues to be one of Mumbai's most premium residential markets, home to celebrities such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Janhvi Kapoor. With its mix of high-end residential and commercial spaces, Bandra remains a preferred destination for high-net-worth individuals. John Abraham's Property Holdings This isn't the actor's only significant real estate activity. In December 2023, John purchased a sprawling 5,416-square-foot bungalow in Khar, along with a 7,722-square-foot plot of land. The transaction, worth Rs 70.83 crore, was registered after an additional stamp duty payment of Rs 4.24 crore. The bungalow is located on Linking Road, a prime commercial stretch known for its retail prominence and connectivity. Apart from acting, John Abraham is actively involved in several business ventures. He owns JA Entertainment, a production house, and has invested in various other sectors including fitness, coffee, and ice cream. His ventures include NorthEast United FC, JA Fitness, and investments in Subko Coffee Roasters and NOTO Healthy Ice Cream. His estimated net worth stands at Rs 251 crore. The 52-year-old star also has a passion for automobiles. His collection includes luxury vehicles such as a Lamborghini Gallardo, Nissan GT-R Black Edition, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Audi Q7 and Q3, along with superbikes like the BMW S1000RR, Aprilia RSV4 RF, and Honda CBR 1000RR.
