"Uppu Kappurambu blends comedy with meaningful commentary on society - Director Ani I.V. Sasi"

New Delhi, June 16

Get ready to see actor Keerthy Suresh in an interesting role in the Telugu film titled 'Uppu Kappurambu'.

Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari are also a part of 'Uppu Kappurambu'.

Sharing his experience directing the film, Ani I.V. Sasi in a press note said, " 'Uppu Kappurambu' draws from a world I've long wanted to bring to screen. 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."

The film will be out on Prime Video on July 4.

Keerthy Suresh is such a versatile actress! Loved her in Mahanati and now excited to see her in this rural comedy-drama. The 90s setting makes it even more interesting. Can't wait for July 4th! 😊

The concept sounds unique - a comedy about burial infrastructure? Only Telugu cinema can come up with such innovative ideas! Hope they handle the social commentary well without making it too preachy.

As someone who grew up in a village in the 90s, I'm really looking forward to this film. The director's vision of blending serious issues with humor reminds me of classic Telugu cinema. Fingers crossed it lives up to expectations!

While I appreciate the attempt at social commentary, I hope they don't trivialize the actual struggles rural India faces. Sometimes satire can go overboard and miss the point. But with Keerthy in the cast, I'll definitely give it a watch!

Direct OTT release? Good decision! These days small budget films with good content work better on streaming platforms than in theaters. Hope this becomes a trend for meaningful cinema. #SupportGoodContent

The cast looks promising with veteran actors like Babu Mohan. 90s nostalgia + rural setting + social satire = perfect recipe for a weekend watch. Already marked my calendar! 🌟
