Kubera – Dhanush-starrer runs into trouble; makers to look for alternate title?

Dhanush’s upcoming bilingual film Kubera , directed by Sekhar Kammula, might have hit a roadblock. The latest reports suggest that the film is facing a copyright issue pertaining to the title Kubera.  

The recent Telugu reports stated that a producer named Karmikonda Narendra had already registered the title Kubera with the Telangana Film Chamber and that their film had completed its shooting. However, the producer now alleges that Shekhar Kammula has used the name for his film with Dhanush and that he tried to talk to the Telangana Film Chamber about it but has not received a response yet. He is now seeking to resolve the issue through legal proceedings. 

However, the producers of Dhanush’s Kubera want to put it all to rest and will likely resolve the copyright issue to avoid legal complications. Reportedly, discussions are taking place and a final agreement will be made soon. If the dispute does not favour Dhanush-starrer’s team, the makers may have to choose an alternative title. Watch out for this space for more updates and developments regarding the upcoming Dhanush-starrer.  

This unexpected copyright claim might not affect the film’s production plans but surely has generated a debate online.

Directed by Sekhar Kammula, the upcoming film is currently in its production stage and presented an interesting poster earlier. The poster suggests that the film is going to centre around Dhanush’s character, who is a homeless man. Besides Dhanush, Kubera features a stellar ensemble cast of Nagarjuna, Jim Sarbh and Rashmika Mandanna. Notably, Jim Sarbh makes his Tamil debut with this film. Billed as an action drama, the film has predominantly been shot in Tirupati and Mumbai's Dharavi. Earlier, the team had updated the fans about the shooting schedule in Bangkok for the action portions for the film. Actor Nagarjuna is also part of the schedule in which talkie and action parts are being shot.

National Award-winning composer Devi Sri Prasad is scoring the music for the film. Kubera will be a bilingual film, shot simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu. The release date is yet to be announced.
