Dhanush’s ‘Kubera’ Set for June 2025 Release Amidst ‘Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam’ Box Office Struggles
While anticipation builds for the pan-Indian film ‘Kubera’, Dhanush’s recent directorial venture faces a lukewarm reception at the box office.
Dhanush’s upcoming 51st film, “Kubera,” co-directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sekhar Kammula, is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on June 20, 2025. This pan-Indian project features Telugu superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni in a significant role, with Rashmika Mandanna as the leading lady. Renowned composer Devi Sri Prasad has crafted the film’s music, adding to the project’s allure.
The film’s title, inspired by the Hindu god of wealth, delves into themes of ambition, greed, and redemption, narrating the transformative journey of a beggar. Shot across diverse locations including Mumbai, Tirupati, and Thailand, “Kubera” promises a visually captivating experience. The film will be released in multiple languages: Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.
In contrast, Dhanush’s recent directorial effort, “Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam,” which hit theaters on February 21, 2025, has faced challenges at the box office. Despite its unique narrative and ensemble cast, the film has garnered a modest gross of approximately ₹5.34 crore over its first five days. Factors such as competition from other releases and major events have impacted its performance.
As Dhanush gears up for the release of “Kubera,” expectations are high for this ambitious project to make a significant impact in the Indian film industry.
