After delivering two successful romantic dramas — Fidaa and Love Story — filmmaker Sekhar Kammula takes a bold leap into the socio-political genre with his Telugu-language film Kuberaa.

Inspired by the Hindu God of Wealth, the film lives up to its name by delving into the themes of power, money, and their far-reaching influence on individuals and the justice system. Kammula, who also serves as the writer of the script, screenplay, and dialogues, handles these themes with nuance and conviction.

What is Kuberaa about?

Kuberaa follows the story of Deepak (Nagarjuna), an honest and upright CBI officer who has solved over a thousand cases — only to be betrayed by the very system he served, landing him behind bars. Enter Neeraj, a powerful business tycoon with deep political connections who manipulates the system to his advantage.
