Keerthy Suresh-starrer Uppu Kappurambu to release digitally on July 4

Keerthy Suresh stars in the quirky satire Uppu Kappurambu, releasing digitally on Prime Video July 4 with a unique take on rural life.

"Uppu Kappurambu draws from a world I’ve long wanted to bring to screen - Director Ani I.V. Sasi"

Mumbai, June 16

The makers of the Telugu movie “Uppu Kappurambu” starring Keerthy Suresh have announced that the film will release on July 4 on Prime Video.

“Uppu Kappurambu” is directed by Ani. I.V. Sasi and stars Keerthy Suresh, Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari in lead roles.

“Uppu Kappurambu draws from a world I’ve long wanted to bring to screen,” shares Director Ani I.V. Sasi. “Set against the quirky and chaotic backdrop of rural life in the '90s, it uses satire and humour to explore how ordinary people navigate extraordinary situations with limited means but an unbreakable spirit.

“We wanted it to be something that deals with very serious issues in society but in a very silly and cartoonish way. This film is a sincere attempt to blend comedy with meaningful commentary, brought to life by an incredible cast and crew.”

Prime Video on Monday morning took to Instagram and shared a colourful poster of the upcoming film.

The poster was captioned: “Get ready for this heartwarming ride with the citizens of Chitti Jayapuram #UppuKappuRambuOnPrime, New Movie, July 4.”

Set in the 1990s, the coming-of-age satire follows the residents of Chitti Jayapuram, a fictional village in South India’s hinterland grappling with an escalating pressure on its burial infrastructure.

The film will stream in Telugu with dubs in Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada. “Uppu Kappurambu” presents a lighthearted take on a societal issue. The film is produced by Radhika Lavu under the banner of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd.

Nikhil Madhok, Director & Head of Originals, Prime Video, India, said: “Uppu Kappurambu is a thought-provoking, yet delightfully quirky satire that captures the essence of an authentic rural milieu whilst bringing to the fore an unconventional theme.

“We are proud to collaborate with Ellanar Films, and take Ani. I.V. Sasi’s unique vision, alongside a talented cast led by Keerthy Suresh and Suhas, to a global audience.”

Finally! Been waiting for this since the teaser dropped. Keerthy Suresh always brings something fresh to the table. The 90s rural setting with satire sounds like a perfect combo. Hope it lives up to the hype! 🤞

Interesting concept - using humor to tackle serious issues. Reminds me of classic Malayalam satires. But I hope they don't make it too cartoonish. The burial infrastructure angle sounds unique but could easily become insensitive if not handled well.

Oho! Prime Video is really upping their Telugu content game. Good to see regional cinema getting global platforms. The multi-language dubs will help reach wider audiences. Keerthy's choice of scripts has been impressive lately - from Mahanati to this.

The 90s rural backdrop has so much potential for nostalgia! Hoping for authentic costumes and dialogues that capture that era properly. Also excited to see Suhas in a lead role after his brilliant performance in Color Photo.

Not sure about the 'silly' approach to serious issues. Our filmmakers should stop treating rural India as some kind of comedy theme park. That said, if they get the balance right between humor and message, it could be special. Fingers crossed!

Yay! Another quality Telugu film skipping theaters and coming straight to OTT. Perfect for rainy July evenings with some mirchi bajjis 😋 The cast looks solid and the director's vision sounds promising. Marking my calendar!
