Development

In June 2021, ahead the release of his Jagame Thandhiram, Dhanush officially announced his upcoming film directed by Sekhar Kammula and funded by Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP.[2] It would be produced in Telugu cinema, and simultaneously shot in the Telugu, Tamil and Hindi languages.[3] A muhurat puja was held on 28 November 2022 in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.[4] Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna were announced as the other leading actors in August 2023.[5][6] While the film was originally known under the working title D51, as it is Dhanush's 51st film as the leading actor,[7] with the arrival of Nagarjuna, it was changed to DNS, the initialism referring to Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Sekhar.[8] The official title, Kubera, was announced on 8 March 2024.[9]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography began with the first schedule on 17 January 2024 in Hyderabad.[10] In late January, production moved to a temple in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.[11] However, the team were filming near the ghat to Alipiri, leading to the vehicles, that were moving towards the temple, being redirected by the police and the bouncers. The roadblocks and diversion led to commotion and traffic jams around the temple. The public went on to question the police to know how they permitted the team to shoot at that spot and filed a police complaint against the team.[12] The second schedule commenced on 8 February in Goa.[13] On 13 March, the production house posted behind-the-stills, with also announcing a new schedule in Bangkok.[14] In early May, production moved to Mumbai. During this schedule, Dhanush shot a sequence for 12 hours beside a dump yard.[15]

Title disputes

[edit]

In April 2024, film producer Karmikonda Narendra stated that he owned the rights of the title "Kubera" and had already completed shooting a film with the title. He filed a complaint, but was not responded to. Soon after, Narendra urged the Telangana Film Chamber to intervene and resolve the dispute.[16]
