Keerthy Suresh's Adorable Smile As She Greets Paparazzi Will Make You Say Aww
Keerthy Suresh's Telugu original film Uppu Kappurambu is now streaming on Prime Video. Keerthy Suresh, who made her Bollywood debut alongside Varun Dhawan in Baby John, has been the talk of the town since then. The actress was spotted in Mumbai as she stepped out for an event. She wowed her followers by wearing a multicoloured ethnic wear exuding grace and charm like no other. The actress was seen getting out of her car and briefly stopping for the photographers around. Keerthy wore a stunning lehenga with an off-shoulder blouse. The patterns on both the shirt and blouse were similar but the colours on them differed giving it a contrasting look. She also wrapped a pink dupatta around her shoulders to complete the ensemble. For her glam look, Keerthy kept her hair open and went for minimal makeup. The highlight was surely the small bindi on her forehead. Keerthy Suresh's Telugu original film Uppu Kappurambu is now streaming on Prime Video. Radhika Lavu produced the quirky social satire under the aegis of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd, which is directed by Ani I.V. Sasi. The film's ensemble cast includes, Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru and Talluri Rameshwari. Set in the 1990s, Uppu Kappurambu takes place in the fictional South Indian village of Chitti Jayapuram, where the community faces an unexpected challenge: tremendous pressure on its burial infrastructure. What follows is a charmingly ludicrous yet emotionally evocative trip as the villagers handle the catastrophe with humour, resilience and compassion. Earlier, she hinted at working on another Hindi film as well. Keerthy told Hindustan Times, 'I have to balance between Hindi and all my other language films as they are all equally important to me. I might be signing another Hindi film this year. Additionally, I might be working on two other Telugu films and a Malayalam film. I also have a Telugu release and a Tamil release lined up for this year." Keerthy Suresh appeared in Baby John alongside Varun Dhawan and Wamiqa Gabbi.

Keerthy Suresh Turns Village Head, Gets Ridiculed By Locals In Uppu Kappurambu
Uppu Kappurambu is a satire comedy set in a fictional South Indian village grappling with increased pressure on its burial infrastructure. The trailer of Keerthy Suresh's upcoming Telugu movie, Uppu Kappurambu, is finally out. On Thursday, the makers of the film released the much-awaited trailer of the satirical comedy and left everyone excited for the movie. The trailer reveals that Uppu Kappurambu is set in a fictional South Indian village where the dead are outnumbered by bureaucracy, and the burial plots are in short supply. Produced by Radhika Lavu, under the banner of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd, and directed by Ani. I.V. Sasi, and written by Vasanth Maringanti, the upcoming film, boasts a stellar ensemble cast led by Suhas and National Award-winning actor Keerthy Suresh, who is joined by Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari in key roles. Set in the early 1990s, Uppu Kappurambu unfolds in Chitti Jayapuram, a seemingly quiet village with a very bizarre crisis: it's out of space to bury the dead. As the newly appointed, idealistic village head Apoorva (Keerthy Suresh) takes charge, she faces ridicule from locals who are uncomfortable with a woman in power. Determined to fix things, she turns to Chinna (Suhas), the quirky graveyard caretaker, whose own motives spark unintended chaos. From a hilarious lucky draw to book graveyard slots to escalating village drama, the trailer presents a rollercoaster of wit, humour, and emotion, offering a sneak peek into a world where social satire meets unexpected warmth and chaos. 'What drew me to Uppu Kappurambu was its unique blend of satire and heart," expresses Keerthy Suresh. Sharing insights 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. The film uses humour and local flavour to spotlight something serious, and that's what makes it hit home. That's also what moved me, and now, I can't wait for audiences to experience this world on Prime Video." 'Playing Chinna was unlike anything I've done before," shares Suhas. '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, and I'm really excited for audiences around the world to witness it on Prime Video." Uppu Kappurambu is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video on July 4, and will be available to stream in Telugu with dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, and subtitles in 12 languages, including English.
