Sekhar Kammula’s ‘Kuberaa’ Gets UA Certificate, Set for June 20 Release

Sekhar Kammula’s Kubera release tomorrow

Sekhar Kammula’s much-awaited film ‘Kuberaa’ is ready for a grand release on June 20, 2025. The film features a stellar cast including Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Rashmika Mandanna, and Jim Sarbh. Touted as a political drama with commercial appeal, Kuberaa will release in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi simultaneously.

CBFC Clears Film With 19 cuts

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared Kuberaa with a UA certificate. The Telugu version has a runtime of 181 minutes, while the Tamil version clocks in at 182 minutes.

However, the CBFC trimmed 19 scenes, removing nearly 14 minutes of footage. These cuts reportedly include scenes involving all the lead actors. A cab sequence featuring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika was among the visuals cut for pacing and clarity.
