Nagarjuna Akkineni and Dhanush starrer Kuberaa is slated to hit the big screens on June 20, 2025. Ahead of its release, the makers released a teaser and trailer with an interesting detail, leaving the superstar astounded.

The teaser for the Sekhar Kammula directorial titled Trance of Kuberaa was edited by a 25-year-old Sushruth Chilakapati. What makes it even more special is that the student is an alumnus of the Akkineni family’s Annapurna College of Film and Media.

In reaction to the teaser, the veteran actor said, “When I first watched the teaser, I was blown away. I remember asking, ‘Who cut this? It had such finesse, it was difficult to pull off something like that, especially a teaser that builds entirely on a song and still conveys a whole story.”

“I later found out that the person behind it was a young man named Sushruth, an alumnus of Annapurna College of Film & Media. I was genuinely thrilled! I was so proud. We had met before, but I hadn’t realised he’d go on to do something so impactful,” the actor added.

Nagarjuna Akkineni admitted that it was brilliant of Sekhar Kammula to make a teaser with this concept. Moreover, the actor felt fulfilled knowing that someone from his own college edited it.
