Keerthy Suresh And Suhas Starrer Uppu Kappurambu To Premiere Globally On THIS Date
Last Updated:
Keerthy Suresh's Uppu Kappurambu, a Telugu satire set in 1990s rural India, streams worldwide on July 4. The film also stars Suhas, Babu Mohan, and more.
Prime Video has officially announced the premiere date for its upcoming Telugu original film Uppu Kappurambu. Slated to launch globally on July 4, the quirky social satire is produced by Radhika Lavu under the banner of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd and helmed by director Ani I.V. Sasi. The film features an ensemble cast led by Keerthy Suresh, Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari.
Set in the 1990s, Uppu Kappurambu unfolds in the fictional South Indian village of Chitti Jayapuram, where the community finds itself in an unusual predicament—overwhelming pressure on its burial infrastructure. What follows is a delightfully absurd yet emotionally resonant journey as the villagers confront the crisis with humour, resilience, and heart.
Written by Vasanth Maringanti, the film blends rural authenticity with a sharp satirical tone, offering a lighthearted take on a serious societal concern. It will stream in Telugu, along with dubs in Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, and will be available in over 240 countries and territories via Prime Video.
Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals at Prime Video India, shared his excitement about the project, stating, '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're 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."
Director Ani I.V. Sasi added, 'This is a story I've long wanted to tell. Set against the quirky and chaotic backdrop of rural life in the '90s, it explores how ordinary people navigate extraordinary situations with limited means but an unbreakable spirit. We wanted to deal with serious issues in a silly, cartoonish way—and I think we've done just that."
With its blend of humour, nostalgia, and social insight, Uppu Kappurambu is poised to strike a chord with audiences both in India and abroad. The film marks yet another step in Prime Video's effort to showcase rooted, culturally diverse narratives on a global platform.

Meet actress, who murdered a friend, chopped him into 300 pieces, got intimate in front of dead body, was arrested by police with the help of...
In 2008, Bollywood's glossy façade cracked, revealing a dark, chilling tale that stunned the nation. At the centre of it was a rising Kannada actress, a jealous lover in uniform, and a casting director who vanished without a trace. Maria Monica Susairaj had come to Mumbai chasing the dream—to go from South starlet to a known name in Hindi cinema. That's when she crossed paths with Neeraj Grover, a casting executive at Balaji Telefilms. Their professional bond quickly turned personal. Grover helped her network, offered her his flat, and eventually became more than just a friend. But love in Maria's life was already spoken for — she was in a long-distance relationship with Navy Lieutenant Jerome Mathew. When Jerome sensed something more than friendship between Maria and Grover, suspicion began to brew. Jealousy turned deadly. In May 2008, Jerome showed up unannounced in Mumbai. What he found in Maria's apartment — Neeraj Grover — lit the fuse. A violent confrontation followed. In a fit of rage, Jerome stabbed Neeraj to death, with Maria present. But the horror didn't end there. The couple's actions after the murder defied comprehension. According to reports and the police investigation, the duo allegedly spent hours with the body, engaging in unspeakable acts. Later, they dismembered Grover's corpse into over 300 pieces, packed the remains in plastic bags, and drove out to burn them with petrol. All in a desperate attempt to erase the crime. Neeraj's sudden disappearance set off alarms among his friends and family. Calls went unanswered. Police tracked his last known location — it led straight to Maria. As surveillance intensified, the investigators noticed an unusual call spike between Maria and Jerome following Neeraj's disappearance. The breakthrough came from a tip — a watchman remembered seeing Maria and Jerome carrying suspicious bags out of the apartment. Confronted with evidence, Maria broke down and confessed. The following trial became one of India's most watched true crime sagas. Jerome was sentenced to 10 years for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, while Maria received just 3 years for destroying evidence. The verdict stirred public outrage, especially given the brutality of the crime. Maria Monica Susairaj walked free in 2011, having already served her time in custody. Years later, the shadows of this case still linger — a haunting reminder that sometimes, real-life scripts are far more terrifying than anything written for the screen.
