'Kuberaa' trimmed version: 19 scenes deleted from Dhanush starrer; deets inside
The much-awaited social thriller 'Kuberaa,' starring
Dhanush
and directed by
Sekhar Kammula
, is taking shape as a compelling cinematic ride. With a contingent of actors like
Nagarjuna Akkineni
,
Rashmika Mandanna
, and
Jim Sarbh
, the film has promised a recreational story with a collective appeal.
However, even before its release, the film has seen several changes after undergoing scrutiny by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Certified UA 13+, 'Kuberaa' had nearly 13 minutes of content trimmed—19 scenes in total, mostly centered around Dhanush, Rashmika Madanna, and Nagarjuna Akkineni.
Decision to impress audience
According to the Andhra box office, scenes featuring Dhanush's character
Deva
and Rashmika's Sameera were among those shortened, including a cab sequence with Nagarjuna's Deepak and a few intense moments involving Jim Sarbh's character, Neeraj.
While the decision to delete these scenes was made to tighten the narrative, fans are curious if the final version will retain the same emotional depth. Despite this, the trailer has already hit a raga with the audience, which teases an intense journey of Deva's transformation from a downtrodden figure to a powerful presence.
'Kuberaa' reservations going strong
As expectation peaks, the ticket sales of 'Kuberaa' have closed with dynamic pricing in Hyderabad.

Single-screen theaters cost the tickets between ₹ 150 and ₹ 175, while multiplexes are presenting them in the ₹ 250-295 range. This pricing reflects the promotion of the film, especially the fact that Bow and Nagarjuna formed a team in this serious story of ambition, existence, and moral dilemmas for the first time.
Makers revealed a 10 crore threat from an OTT partner
On the OTT front, the makers of 'Kuberaa' earlier opened up about pressure from Amazon Prime Video, which has acquired its streaming rights. According to the makers, the platform threatened to slash ₹10 crore from the deal if the film didn't stick to its scheduled theatrical release on June 20. With stakes this high, 'Kuberaa' is more than just a film; it's a test of timelines, expectations, and artistic integrity.

BTS's Suga donates 5 BILLION to hospital supporting children with Autism; sets new record for largest donation by K-Pop idol
BTS member Suga has made history with a record-breaking donation to Severance Hospital in Seoul, funding the establishment of the Min Yoongi Treatment Centre, dedicated to supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). According to reports on koreaboo, Suga shelled out KWR 5 billion (approximately USD 3.64 million), marking the largest single contribution ever made by a K-pop idol to a medical institution. The donation will help the new facility offer a range of tailored treatments, including speech, psychological, and behavioural therapy. It will also serve as a research hub, aiming to promote the social independence of individuals with ASD. The project is a collaboration between Suga and Professor Cheon Geun Ah from the hospital's Pediatric Psychiatry Department, with whom he has been working since November 2024. In a heartfelt statement reported by koreaboo, Suga shared his motivation behind the donation, 'During the past seven months of preparing this program and volunteering with Professor Cheon, I genuinely felt that music can be a valuable method for expressing one's feelings and communicating with the world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

I will continue to support efforts that will help more children integrate into society.' MIND Program: Music at the Heart of Therapy At the core of the new centre will be the MIND Program which is short for Music, Interaction, Network, and Diversity, which Suga helped co-develop. This innovative therapy model uses music to enhance communication, emotional expression, and social interaction in children with ASD. Participants will engage in singing, instrument-playing, and music-based writing exercises to build confidence and interpersonal skills while celebrating their individuality. Suga has been hands-on in the development of the program. Between March and June this year, he volunteered his weekends to work directly with children, even teaching them how to play instruments. The sessions, he said, revealed how powerfully music can unlock emotional and social growth. The treatment centre is scheduled for completion in September 2025, and will significantly expand the hospital's existing pediatric mental health services.
