Chiranjeevi Graces ‘Kuberaa’ Success Meet as Nagarjuna Showers Praise on Cast and Crew

Nagarjuna hails Dhanush’s powerful act, calls Rashmika the new-age Sridevi, and reiterates Sekhar Kammula’s vision behind the gripping thriller.

The team of Kuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula, came together on Sunday evening in Hyderabad to celebrate the film’s box office success. The event was made even more special with the presence of Megastar Chiranjeevi, who attended as the chief guest and added star power to the celebrations. The cast and crew, including Akkineni Nagarjuna, were present to share their excitement with fans and the media.

Nagarjuna, who plays a CBI officer in the film, received widespread acclaim for his performance. At the event, he expressed deep admiration for Chiranjeevi, stating that the veteran actor is loved across the film industry for his unwavering support of cinema and artistes from all languages. He reiterated that Kuberaa is entirely Sekhar Kammula’s creative vision, applauding the director for successfully delivering a thriller rooted in humanity — something Nagarjuna called both rare and complex.

Addressing recent media speculation around his earlier comments, Nagarjuna clarified that there’s been no change in his view — the film belongs wholly to Kammula, and he’s grateful to have been part of such a compelling project. He also took a moment to appreciate the technical team for their stellar contributions.

When speaking about co-star Dhanush, Nagarjuna seemed in awe. He said he was left speechless by Dhanush’s portrayal of a beggar, adding that with four national awards already under his belt, there was little left to prove about his extraordinary talent.

Nagarjuna also heaped praise on Rashmika Mandanna, comparing her screen presence to that of Sridevi in the iconic Kshanak Kshanam. He remarked that watching Rashmika evoked memories of the legendary actress, and called her not just the “national crush,” but his own personal one too — a comment that visibly overwhelmed and delighted Rashmika.

The event ended on a high note, with the team united in their appreciation for each other and the film’s growing success.
