Uppu Kappurambu OTT release date OUT: Keerthy Suresh-Suhas film to stream on Prime Video from THIS date
The much-anticipated Telugu satirical comedy 'Uppu Kappurambu', starring Keerthy Suresh and Suhas, is set to make its digital debut on Amazon Prime Video on July 4, 2025.
Directed by Ani IV Sasi, the film brings together a refreshing blend of humour, social commentary, and eccentric characters, all set against the backdrop of a fictional Telugu village in the 1990s.
At the heart of the story lies an unusual and quirky conflict — the village graveyard is running out of burial space. This peculiar problem sets off a chain of comedic events as the villagers try to find practical (and sometimes bizarre) solutions.
Leading the charge is Apoorva, a newly appointed government official portrayed by Keerthy Suresh, and Chinna, the earnest graveyard caretaker played by Suhas. Together, they navigate the crisis while dealing with the idiosyncrasies of rural bureaucracy and community politics.
The film's trailer hints at an engaging narrative filled with sharp satire, unexpected twists, and a celebration of collective spirit in rural life. It also features a supporting cast including Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari, adding further layers of humour and emotion.
Keerthy Suresh, known for her intense and dramatic roles, steps into uncharted territory with a geeky, light-hearted character that has already caught the attention of fans. Her transformation into a slightly awkward, yet spirited bureaucrat marks a significant departure from her usual screen persona.
Described as a satirical take on burial practices in rural Andhra, 'Uppu Kappurambu' promises not just laughs but also a commentary on the intersection of tradition, administration, and community problem-solving.
With its unique premise and strong cast, 'Uppu Kappurambu' is shaping up to be a must-watch for Telugu cinema lovers when it arrives on streaming this July.

Amazon Prime Video has announced the fourth and final season of Four More Shots Please!. The popular OTT series stars Kirti Kulhari, Sayani Gupta, Bani J and Maanvi Gagroo. The show follows the lives of four women from different backgrounds who support each other through ups and downs. The web series is directed by Arunima Sharma and Neha Parti Matiyani. It is written by Devika Bhagat with dialogues by Ishita Moitra. Created by Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, the show started in 2019 with Anu Menon as director, followed by Nupur Asthana in 2020, and Joyeeta Patpatia in 2022. Other key cast members include Lisa Ray, Milind Soman, Rajeev Siddhartha and Ankur Rathee. A new poster shows the lead characters relaxing by the beach. 'Calling the shots for the season finale,' Amazon Prime Video wrote on Instagram while sharing teaser photos. The release date hasn't been shared yet. However, as per media reports, filming is complete. The series has gained popularity for its bold take on modern urban women's friendships, struggles and personal journeys. One user commented, 'My FAV Indian series on prime!!!' while some wrote, 'Can't wait.' One user called it a 'guilty pleasure show'. 'The Motive Is To Glorify Feminism,' came from another. The first two seasons of Four More Shots Please! received positive reviews from critics. Viewers praised the show's stylish visuals, glamorous outfits and appealing locations. Critics said the second season continued the charm of the first. However, season 3 got mixed feedback. While critics appreciated the cinematography, locations and music by Mikey McCleary, they felt the storytelling could have been stronger. Some praised how the music supported the emotions of each scene. Others felt the show repeated old patterns like Siddhi's monologues and Damini's troubled relationships. After three seasons, critics felt the characters should grow and take more responsibility for their actions. Will they? Fans will soon come to know.

Telugu star Nithiin lists 3 emotional reasons behind his hope for Thammudu's success
Telugu star Nithiin is going through a tough time in his career, but that has not stopped him from doing back-to-back films. Post the debacle of Robinhood, he is now ready with an action drama titled Thammudu, which is all set for release on July 4, 2025. Nithiin's next is Thammudu A fan of Nithiin? Stream his films, Sye and Bheeshma, on OTTplay Premium The noted actor spoke his heart out at the pre-release event of the film and stated that he wants it to become a hit for three reasons. The first being the director, Sreeram Venu, who has been working on Thammudu for the last two years. Then, Nithiin revealed that his fans have been waiting to see a hit from him for the longest time, and Thammudu will fulfill their thirst. Lastly, Nithiin added that the entire cast of the film shot for months together in dense forests, which took a toll on all of them. "Everyone associated with the film has worked hard on Thammudu. The film's story happens in a single night and has gruesome action sequences. The entire cast went through a lot of physical strain to bring the story alive. I promise that Thammudu will be one hell of an action drama filled with solid emotions and great performances," said Nithiin. Sapthami Gowda makes her Telugu debut with Thammudu Thammudu is quite special as it marks the comeback of yesteryear heroine Laya to the big screen after a long gap. Thammudu is based on her character, and Laya will be seen as Nithiin's sister in the film. Also, Kantara actress Sapthami Gowda is making her Telugu debut with this film, produced by Dil Raju. The makers have seen solid losses with Ram Charan's Game Changer and still spent close to ₹ 60 crore on Thammudu, despite knowing that Nithiin has not delivered a single hit in the last few years. That is the reason Nithiin openly admits he did not take any remuneration for the film and will only take a share in profits if the film clicks at the box office. Let's see what happens in the days to come.
