He made life very easy for me. It is a very different character from what I have played before and I enjoyed the challenge," the actor admitted candidly.

He is so clean, so pure and with such a good heart. You make a lot of films, you meet a lot of people. When you meet someone like Sekhar Kammula, you feel the travel is worth it. It is because of this man that I did this film. He narrated for just 20 minutes. I loved his energy, positivity and approach. I love his honesty towards making his films or as a human being. Sekhar is a great person," he said.

Apart from Nagarjuna and Dhanush, the film also features Jim Sarbh and Rashmika Mandanna in pivotal roles. The film is keenly awaited as this is the first time that the National award-winning actor Dhanush is joining hands with ace filmmaker Sekhar Kammula.
On the technical front, the film has music by Devi Sri Prasad, who is riding high on the success of his recent releases. 'Kuberaa' has cinematography by Niketh Bommi. Ramakrishna Sabbani and Monika Nigotre are the production designers of the film, which has been co-written by Chaithanya Pingali.

Dhanush once revealed how he fell in love with his ex-wife Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth: 'She's 100 times simpler than her father'
An old interview with Dhanush has resurfaced, revealing his deep admiration for Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, his former wife. He emphasized that he was drawn to her simplicity and individuality, not her family's fame. Dhanush highlighted her grounded nature, even comparing her favorably to her father, Rajinikanth, praising her ability to connect with people and her dedication to raising their sons. Dhanush had once publicly expressed deep admiration for his former wife, Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth. As a resurfaced interview reminds fans, the actor didn't fall for her celebrity lineage—but for her simplicity, warmth, and individuality. A long partnership and a quiet separation Dhanush and Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth , who were married for 18 years before parting ways in 2022, share two sons—Yatra and Linga. While the Raayan actor is now in the news over his rumoured link-up with Mrunal Thakur , a past interview has resurfaced in which he spoke warmly about Aishwaryaa, even drawing a heartfelt comparison between her and her father, superstar Rajinikanth. What drew him to Aishwaryaa In a resurfaced interview with The Times of India, Dhanush reflected on what drew him to Aishwaryaa when they first met. The actor, who married her in an arranged match in 2004, shared that it wasn't her famous family background that impressed him—it was her individuality and personality that truly stood out. When asked if Aishwaryaa's identity as Rajinikanth's daughter influenced his feelings, Dhanush had said he didn't see her that way. He praised her simplicity, saying she was even more grounded than her father. He admired how she treated everyone equally, could connect with anyone easily, and appreciated how well she was raising their two sons. A low-key family life Dhanush and Aishwaryaa welcomed their first son, Yatra, in 2006 and their second, Linga, in 2010. Though considered one of South cinema's most influential couples, they always kept their personal life out of the limelight. Over the years, Dhanush also shared a strong bond with his father-in-law, Rajinikanth, who often praised the actor's talent and dedication in public. While fans were saddened by their separation in 2022, Dhanush and Aishwaryaa officially filed for divorce in April 2024, and their legal separation was finalized in November the same year.

Avika Gor reveals fiance Milind Chandwani friend-zoned her at first sight before confessing his love
TV actress Avika Gor has opened up about her unique love story with fiancé Milind Chandwani, revealing a surprising twist at the beginning of their relationship. In a recent interview with IANS , the 'Balika Vadhu' actress shared that Milind initially friend-zoned her when they first met, unaware that their bond would eventually turn into something deeper. When asked how their relationship began, Avika shared that it all started with friendship. She revealed that when they first met, Milind immediately friend-zoned her. 'It started with friendship. I was friend-zoned at first, but after six months, he realised his feelings. It's been six years now, and we're engaged. It feels like a lot has happened, and it's been a beautiful journey.' Interestingly, Avika announced her wedding with Milind during the grand premiere of Colors' new reality show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga.' Making the big announcement, she shared, 'There's something incredibly poetic about going back to the place where it all began with gratitude, nostalgia, and a sense of purpose. Balika Vadhu taught me and so many people out there, the power of choice and the courage it takes to rewrite your destiny. Years later, I return to Colors not as Anandi the Balika, but as Avika Gor the woman, ready to make the choice of a lifetime.' 'My fiancé, Milind, has been my partner in growth, my strongest ally, and the fellow dreamer who sees me beyond the roles and scripts. When he asked me to spend my life with him, I yelled out the easiest yes of my life. We're two imperfect people choosing to grow together, to challenge each other, and to build something real. I couldn't imagine a more fitting place to share that than here, where it all started. Announcing our wedding on Pati Patni Aur Panga is symbolic and personal. I've grown up in front of Colors' audience, and now, I want to celebrate this milestone with them too. To everyone who embraced me as the balika vadhu all those years ago, I now ask for your blessings as I become a real-life vadhu. This is my full-circle moment, and I'm so thankful I get to share it with the very people who shaped my journey.'

When Dhanush Recalled Falling For Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth: 'She's 100 Times Simpler Than Her Father'
Last Updated: Before their divorce, Dhanush praised Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, saying she's "100 times simpler than her father" Rajinikanth in a resurfaced interview. While Dhanush is currently sparking dating rumours with Mrunal Thakur, a resurfaced interview has reminded fans of the actor's heartfelt praise for his former wife, Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth. The Raayan actor and Aishwaryaa, daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, were married for 18 years before announcing their separation in 2022. They share two sons – Yatra and Linga. Long before their relationship ended, Dhanush had spoken fondly about Aishwaryaa in multiple interviews. One such conversation has now gone viral again, where he compared her to her legendary father. In an old interview with The Times of India, Dhanush opened up about what attracted him to Aishwaryaa when they first met. The actor, who tied the knot with her in an arranged setup back in 2004, clarified that it wasn't her lineage that caught his attention, but her personality. 'I don't see her like that," Dhanush said, when asked if her being Rajinikanth's daughter played a role. 'I like her simplicity. If you think her father is simple, meet Aishwarya. She is 100 times simpler than her father. Aishwaryaa treats everybody as an equal and can be friends with anybody. I like the fact that she is bringing up our sons extremely well." Dhanush and Aishwaryaa had their first child, Yatra, in 2006, followed by their second son, Linga, in 2010. Despite being one of the most powerful couples in South Indian cinema, they largely kept their private life away from the spotlight. Over the years, Dhanush also shared a close bond with his father-in-law, Rajinikanth, who had spoken publicly about his admiration for Dhanush's talent and work ethic. While fans were heartbroken to learn about their separation in 2022, the couple filed for divorce officially in April 2024 and were legally granted separation in November that year.
