Nagarjuna clarifies his ‘real hero’ remark over Dhanush in Kuberaa: ‘Film belongs to everyone’

The film “Kuberaa,” starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Rashmika Mandanna, appears to have struck it rich right from the start. Released on June 20th, this movie is currently dominating the charts and has already made a significant impact at the box office.

Recently, a film I was involved in has sparked some debate. I, as Nagarjuna, admitted to feeling like the central figure, seeing my character as the primary catalyst for the narrative. However, it seems this perspective didn’t resonate with Dhanush’s supporters, who strongly believe that he was the one steering the movie entirely.

Nagarjuna clarifies his ‘real hero’ comment

At a more recent gathering celebrating Kuberaa’s success, Nagarjuna spoke up and provided further explanation regarding his earlier statement. He emphasized that if he had harbored a desire to claim sole credit for the entire film.

He pointed out that he had observed the criticism and negative responses to his earlier comment, and stated, “The characters are the key and main focus of the movie. It’s not my film. I’ve encountered numerous memes and trolls on social media due to my statements at the Kuberaa press conference.

Nagarjuna says Kuberaa belongs to everyone

In a clarification, the prominent figure explained that his previous remarks seemed to have been misconstrued, sparking unwarranted debate.

He emphasized, ‘It’s crucial to understand that this movie is a collaborative effort by everyone involved. I’m repeating myself, but let me clarify, this is Sekhar Kammula’s Kuberaa. It’s Deva’s film, not Dhanush, but rather Deva. This movie belongs to Deepak, Sameera, and Khushboo, but ultimately, it truly belongs to Sekhar Kammula. I can’t thank you enough.’

Kuberaa box office collections so far

Discussing the global box office performance of Kuberaa, it’s experiencing a significant surge in earnings and has managed to gross over 50 crores within merely two days since its theatrical premiere.

If the social thriller keeps up with its current box office performance, it’s likely that it will earn approximately Rs. 80 crore by the end of its initial three-day run.
