Nagarjuna’s Shocking Praise: “Rashmika Has Achieved What None of Us Have in Our Careers”
The buzz around Sekhar Kammula’s socio-political thriller Kuberaa continues to intensify ahead of its grand Pan-India release on June 20, 2025. Featuring Dhanush in the lead and supported by Rashmika Mandanna and Nagarjuna, the film is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
During the recent Mumbai launch of the film’s third song, Pippi Pippi Dum Dum, an unexpected but heartfelt moment stole the spotlight.
Veteran actor Akkineni Nagarjuna, known for his measured words, made a stunning admission about Rashmika Mandanna, who’s fondly hailed as the National Crush.
“Among all of us here, only Rashmika has been part of films that crossed ₹2000 crore and ₹3000 crore at the box office,” Nagarjuna said, as the audience erupted in applause.
He went on to describe her as a powerhouse performer with a three-year career full of versatility, calling her presence on-screen “spontaneous and brilliant.” He ended his address with warm wishes for her future, acknowledging her place among India’s top-tier talent.
Star-Studded Cast & Team
Apart from Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika, Kuberaa also boasts stellar performances from Jim Sarbh, Dalip Tahil, and Sayaji Shinde. The film is produced by Suniel Narang and Puskur Rammohan Rao, with music by rock star Devi Sri Prasad, whose tracks have already captivated fans.
With a gripping narrative, Pan-India appeal, and an ensemble cast firing on all cylinders, Kuberaa is shaping up to be a must-watch theatrical event this summer.
