Development
In June 2021, ahead the release of his Jagame Thandhiram, Dhanush officially announced his upcoming film directed by Sekhar Kammula.[5] It would be produced by Sree Venkateswara Cinemas, LLP and Amigos Creations. The film was reported to be Dhanush's Telugu debut although Vaathi/Sir (2023) was released during the making of this film.[6] A muhurat puja was held on 28 November 2022 in Hyderabad.[7] Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna were announced as the other leading actors in August 2023.[8][9] While the film was originally known under the working title D51, as it is Dhanush's 51st film as the leading actor,[10] with the arrival of Nagarjuna, it was changed to DNS, the initialism referring to Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Sekhar.[11] The official title, Kubera, was announced on 8 March 2024.[12] Almost a year later, the spelling was amended to Kuberaa.[13]
Filming
Principal photography began with the first schedule on 17 January 2024 in Hyderabad.[14] In late January, production moved to a temple in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.[15] However, the team were filming near the Ghat Roads by Alipiri, leading to vehicles 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.[16] The second schedule commenced on 8 February in Goa.[17] On 13 March, the production house posted behind-the-scene stills, while also announcing a new schedule in Bangkok.[18] In early May, production moved to Mumbai. During this schedule, Dhanush shot a sequence for 12 hours beside a dump yard.[19] Filming wrapped in late April.[20]
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.[21] The film was subsequently renamed Kuberaa.[13]
