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. First Published: June 16, 2025, 19:05 IST
