Filming
Principal photography began with the first schedule on 17 January 2024 in Hyderabad.[13] In late January, production moved to a temple in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.[14] 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.[15] The second schedule commenced on 8 February in Goa.[16] On 13 March, the production house posted behind-the-stills, with also announcing a new schedule in Bangkok.[17] In early May, production moved to Mumbai. During this schedule, Dhanush shot a sequence for 12 hours beside a dump yard.[18]
Title dispute
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.[19] The film was subsequently renamed Kuberaa.[12]
