Kubera vs. Cool: Nagarjuna Akini revealed how Lokesh Kanagaraj and Sekhar Kamula are different as the directors

Nagarjuna Akini is eagerly prepared to release his film Kubera, co-contemporary with Dhanush. On June 20, 2025, the experienced actor was asked to reflect the difference between working with Lokesh Kanagarj and Sekhar Kamula.

In his conversation with Galata Plus, the actor highlighted that both are very similar in communication, but hail from various schools of film production.

Nagarjuna said, “Sekhar Kamula is very real, whether it is people’s clothes, hairstyle, or other details. Lokesh, on the other hand, believes in a big life, this is my kind of cinema and I love it.”

“In one example, Sekhar will come to me and say, Nag, you are walking like a hero … calm it down. Nah. He will ask me to bring me a little, even a little hump. However, Lokesh will say, Sir … Sir … walks like a tiger when you walk in a room. I need to scare you a simple,” he said.
