Sai Pallavi's words show such genuine admiration! It's rare to see such heartfelt appreciation between artists in our film industry. Her respect for Sekhar Kammula garu shines through every word. Can't wait to watch Kuberaa now! 🤩

While I appreciate the mutual respect, I wish our actors would show this same enthusiasm for good scripts in all languages. Why only praise Telugu directors when Tamil/Malayalam cinema produces equally brilliant work?

The cast of Kuberaa looks solid - Dhanush, Nagarjuna AND Rashmika? With Sekhar Kammula's direction, this might be the pan-India hit we've been waiting for. Hope it lives up to the hype!

As someone who's followed Sekhar Kammula's work since Anand, I completely agree with Sai Pallavi. His films have this rare combination of commercial appeal and soulful storytelling. Happy to see the new generation recognizing his genius!

While the appreciation is nice, I hope the film actually delivers. Too many big-budget pan-India projects have disappointed recently. Fingers crossed this one breaks the trend with such a talented team behind it!
