Kollywood star Dhanush, Akkineni Nagarjuna, and Rashmika are teaming up for the much-anticipated film Kubera, directed by Shekhar Kammula and produced by Sunil Narang under Asian Cinemas. Scheduled for release on June 20, the film’s teaser and glimpses have already generated a positive buzz among audiences. Known for his classic, emotion-driven storytelling, Shekhar Kammula seems to be shifting gears with Kubera, aiming for a different cinematic tone. Recently, Nagarjuna completed his dubbing work for the film, and now the movie is making headlines for its unusually long runtime.
According to the latest reports, Kubera has locked a runtime of 3 hours and 15 minutes — a bold move in today’s era where shorter, crisp narratives are the norm. While Shekhar Kammula’s films often appeal to a class audience, sustaining interest for over three hours can be a risky gamble. The director seems confident that his storytelling will keep viewers engaged, but any slip in pace or content could affect the film’s reception. Whether this extended runtime pays off or not remains to be seen when Kubera hits theaters later this month.
