“It All Felt So Right”: Nagarjuna Reflects on Finding Meaning in Kuberaa

The Kuberaa song launch event in Mumbai kicked off with an unexpected twist not one, but two back-to-back screenings of the film’s teaser, followed by the launch of the new song Pippi Pippi Dum Dum Dum, setting the tone for a memorable evening.

'This film is very, very special'

Among the highlights of the event was superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni’s heartfelt revelation about why Kuberaa holds a special place in his journey. Opening up on stage, Nagarjuna shared that the film came to him at a time when he was actively seeking something fresh and meaningful. “This film is very, very special to me. It came to me at a point in time when I was wondering what to do next. Like you asked, what should I do next? I can't keep doing the same roles over and over again.”

Collaborate with director

He went on to share that his long-standing desire to collaborate with director Sekhar Kammula finally came true with Kuberaa — and it didn’t take much convincing. “Sekhar Kammula, whom I’ve wanted to work with for the last 15 years, came to me and said, ‘Would you like to do this role?’ I didn’t even ask much about what he was going to offer me — I just said yes.”

Nagarjuna praised Kammula’s

Nagarjuna also praised Kammula’s unique storytelling and the emotional honesty in his work. “I’ve seen Sekhar’s earlier films. He’s a brilliant filmmaker — so real, and his sensibilities are so true. Like Dhanush said, his heart is so pure, and that comes across on screen, in his scripts.” Calling Kuberaa the right film at the right time, Nagarjuna concluded, “It all felt so right.”
