Dhanush’s next film Kubera has finally set a theatrical release date. Sekhar Kammula directs the film, which is one of the most awaited high-budget films of the year with a whopping production value of more than ₹100 crore. The producers had initially scheduled a Maha Shivaratri release, but they later pushed the launch. Now, it is officially confirmed that Kubera will release in theaters globally on June 20.
Although fans are thrilled with this revelation, a significant challenge remains for the release of the movie. Dhanush’s other venture, Idly Kadai, is similarly scheduled for release on April 10, which might affect Kubera at the box office. In the event that Idly Kadai is delayed, it might edge too close to Kubera, providing a very close release window that may spoil both the movies’ performance.
Kubera: A Grand Project with High Expectations
Kubera has created massive buzz, primarily because of its star-studded cast and the director’s reputation, Sekhar Kammula. Apart from Dhanush, Nagarjuna and Rashmika Mandanna also play key roles in the movie.
The teasers and character posters of the film found a huge response, with audiences liking the peek into the fascinating story and cinematic perfection that is offered by Kammula. The film has been produced by SVCC banner, which just adds to the authenticity.
With such huge expectations, Kubera needs to get a smooth and organized release to tap its maximum potential. But now, its box office success hangs in the balance with whatever happens with Idly Kadai.
The Big Obstacle: Release Timing of Idly Kadai
Dhanush is not only playing a role in Idly Kadai but also directing the movie. The film was set to release on April 10, and the fans were eagerly looking forward to it. But there is a new turn. Ajith’s much-awaited film, Good Bad Ugly, is also releasing on April 10, which is going to be stiff competition.
This sudden clash puts Idly Kadai in a tough spot. If the makers of Idly Kadai decide to postpone the release to avoid competing with Ajith’s film, it could affect Kubera’s release schedule as well.
How Idly Kadai’s Delay Could Impact Kubera
If Idly Kadai follows its release date of April 10, then Kubera can confidently come out on June 20 without any problem. But if Idly Kadai is delayed until mid-May or beyond, it might raise several issues for Dhanush’s back-to-back releases:
1. Overlapping Promotions – Marketing two movies within such a short time frame might confuse viewers and divide the excitement, lowering expectation for Kubera.
2. Diminished Audience Interest – Releasing two Dhanush movies too close to each other can water down audience enthusiasm, and Kubera will be the loser at the box office.
3. Theatrical Revenue Conflict – If Idly Kadai is delayed until May, Kubera will find it difficult to draw a complete audience only a month later.
Why a Two-Month Gap is Essential
Two months’ interval between releases is vital for the success of Dhanush’s movies. Delaying Idly Kadai to May could compromise Kubera to stay at the top in box office in June. It seldom happens in Tamil cinema that a hero’s consecutive movies release one after the other in close proximity, as it hurts the crowd pull and the returns.
Therefore, industry experts are of the opinion that Dhanush’s crew will need to carefully plan ahead for the two releases. If Idly Kadai is targeted for April 10, then Kubera can easily have an unencumbered June 20 release. But if Idly Kadai shifts to May, then Kubera producers might need to rethink their release strategy.
Kubera’s Success Depends on Smart Planning
For Kubera to be a blockbuster, its producers need to plan its releases and promotions very well. The movie has everything to make the people go to the theaters—an interesting plot, star cast, and a good director. However, a mismanaged release calendar could spoil its box office potential.
With the June 20 date locked in, the focus now shifts to Idly Kadai’s final release confirmation. If the film sticks to April 10, Kubera will have a clear path. If not, a last-minute change in plans could shake things up for both films.

Final Thoughts
Dhanush’s Kubera has booked its June 20 release, but a major stumbling block is the uncertain release date of Idly Kadai. If Idly Kadai comes as scheduled on April 10, then Kubera can have a hassle-free release. But if the delays push Idly Kadai to May, it may dent Kubera’s box office prospects. The fans are waiting with bated breath for a formal announcement on the final release date of Idly Kadai. Until such time, Kubera’s producers have to carefully monitor the situation and plan their campaign accordingly. June 20 is the day to watch for Dhanush’s Kubera for now, but whether or not it meets roadblocks solely depends on the way things move in the coming weeks.
