Still from Kuberaa
Prime Video announced July 18 as the exclusive global streaming premiere of Kuberaa, an intense crime thriller directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sekhar Kammula. Headlined by a powerhouse cast led by Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Rashmika Mandanna, the film also features Jim Sarbh in a pivotal role. Winning over critics and audiences alike, the gripping tale of transformation, ambition, and redemption explores the themes of moral dilemma and high-stakes conspiracies that change the course of ordinary lives.
Set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s gritty underbelly, Kuberaa follows Deva Kallam (Dhanush), a humble vagrant from Tirupati whose life takes an unexpected turn when he is unwittingly entangled in a dangerous conspiracy. When Neeraj Mithra (Jim), a power-hungry corporate tycoon, uncovers a hidden oil reserve, he blackmails disgraced ex-CBI officer Deepak Tej (Nagarjuna) into helping him seize control of it. Deepak orchestrates an elaborate conspiracy using Deva—but when Deva escapes, all hell breaks loose, triggering a deadly pursuit. With only a stranded Sameera (Rashmika) to aid him, Deva must try to navigate a world he barely understands if he must survive. Brought to life under Sekhar Kammula’s masterful direction and elevated by Devi Sri Prasad’s pulse-pounding score, Dhanush delivers one of his most powerful and memorable performances to date in Kuberaa.
Nagarjuna was full of praise for his co-stars, especially Jim Sarbh. Calling him “impossible in the best way,” he shared how Jim’s powerful performance and command over Telugu dialogues pushed him to raise his own game.
