Keerthy Suresh on what drew her to 'Uppu Kappurambu': Its blend of satire, heart
The makers of Telugu film "Uppu Kappurambu" unveiled its trailer on Thursday and its lead actress
Keerthy Suresh
said the unique blend of satire and heart drew her to the film.
"What drew me to Uppu Kappurambu was its unique blend of satire and heart," said Keerthy.
Talking about her character, she added, "Apoorva is a refreshingly different character. She's idealistic, determined, and a little out of her depth. It was an absolute joy to bring her character to life, especially in a world so rooted in our rural culture."
She said that the film uses humour and local flavour to spotlight something serious, and that's what makes it hit home.
The Telugu Original Movie is a satire comedy set in a fictional South Indian village grappling with increased pressure on its burial infrastructure.
It also stars Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari.
As per the statement, the film is set in the early 1990s, unfolds in Chitti Jayapuram, a seemingly quiet village with a very bizarre crisis, it's run by Uppu Kappurambu out of space to bury the dead.
As the newly appointed, idealistic village head Apoorva takes charge, she faces ridicule from locals who are uncomfortable with a woman in power. Determined to fix things, she turns to Chinna, the quirky graveyard caretaker, whose own motives spark unintended chaos.

"Playing Chinna was unlike anything I've done before," shares Suhas.
He added: "He's a simple guy caught in a very odd and layered situation. The trailer beautifully captures the tone of the film. It's quirky, emotional, and full of surprises. What I love about Uppu Kappurambu the most is that it never tries to be preachy. The trailer is just a peek, there's a lot more madness and emotion waiting to be discovered."
Produced by Radhika Lavu, under the banner of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd, the film is directed by Ani. I.V. Sasi, Uppu Kappurambu will premiere on Prime Video on July 4.

'Wear your lucky underwear': Alex Bowman Jr's weird ritual shocks NASCAR fans after crash (Image via Getty) What do NASCAR stars do before jumping into their race cars? It's not just about tightening seat belts or checking engines. Many drivers have personal pre-race habits that might surprise fans. Some of them stick to the same meal. Others listen to loud music. And some believe in… lucky underwear?In a new video shared on June 17, 2025, by Sports on Prime through their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, NASCAR fans got a peek into what goes on behind the scenes. The clip was part of a promo for NASCAR on Prime, which will stream Cup Series races starting next year. Alex Bowman Jr., AJ Allmendinger, Ross Chastain and others talk about what they do before racing In the short video, drivers opened up about their race day routines. Alex Bowman Jr., who races for Hendrick Motorsports, said, 'Just kind of wear your lucky underwear.' AJ Allmendinger, another Cup Series driver, shared that he listens to heavy music depending on how he feels. 'Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack… it gets me fired up,' he said. Ross Chastain explained he eats only plain chicken, rice, and watermelon before any race. He said he figured this out after trying different meals. Eric Jones revealed he always puts on his clothes in the same order. 'Even the socks go on a certain way,' he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Before going to the track, Austin Dillon remarked that he always eats with his family and prays.

Alex Bowman Jr.'s painful crash in Michigan still fresh in memory Just days before the video dropped, Alex Bowman Jr. had a terrifying crash on June 9, 2025, during the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. On lap 67, Alex Bowman's No. 48 car hit Cole Custer's car and then slammed straight into a wall. Alex Bowman told FOX Sports reporter Bob Pockrass, 'It's the most painful one I've taken for sure.' He shared the impact measured over 50 G-forces. Even though he was cleared by the infield care team, the hit hurt more than when he broke his back in a 2022 sprint car crash. Anthony Alfredo was kept ready in case Alex Bowman couldn't race in Mexico City the following weekend. But Alex Bowman still showed up and competed at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

Apoorva Mukhija Reveals She Had To Vacate House After India's Got Latent Row
New Delhi: Apoorva Mukhija AKA Rebel Kid, who was on the panel with Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani in Samay Raina's India's Got Latent, came under the public ire after the controversial clip of using obscene language went viral. FIRs were filed soon after. Apoorva, who's currently a part of Amazon Prime's reality show The Traitors, revealed in a recent interview that she was forced to move out of the building after the Police came to summon her. What's Happening In an interview with Mashable India, Apoorva revealed that the building authority - where she stays in Mumbai - asked her to vacate the house after the Police came to summon her. "Because the cops came to my house to put up a notice and to summon me, the building management raised a complaint that 'cops are coming to this building, it's wrong, that's why we don't allow bachelors, that's why we don't rent out to single women'. "So somehow, I was single handedly responsible for evacuating feminism out of that building. So the owner told me to leave. I stayed in that house for one year only," said Apoorva. In a vlog shared after the controversy, in April, Apoorva shared that she couldn't go back to the house as she was scared of being attacked. "I started reading my DMs and they were all graphic of how people want to rape me, throw acid and stuff like that," she shared at the time. About India's Got Latent Row Ranveer Allahbadia found himself in troubles after he made a controversial remark about parents and sex. During his appearance on India's Got Latent show, Ranveer Allahbadia had asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever." The Internet heavily schooled him after the comments went viral and multiple police complaints were filed against him. Apporva, who was on the panel as well, also faced legal consequences. In A Nutshell Apoorva Mukhija AKA Rebel Kid revealed that she was forced to move out of the house after India's Got Latent row.
