Varun Badola on playing an alcoholic, unreliable father in Itti Si Khushi; says ‘I had to first forgive the character to play him on screen'
Actor Varun Badola is all set to make a powerful impact with his upcoming show Itti Si Khushi, even before its official launch. The recently released promo of the show has already struck a chord with viewers and industry peers for its sensitive portrayal of resilience and emotional complexities within a broken family. In Itti Si Khushi, Varun plays Suhas Divekar—a character that challenges the usual image of a father. Suhas is charming yet unreliable, loving yet emotionally absent. He drowns his guilt and pain in alcohol, complicating his relationships with his family. It's this deeply flawed but relatable character that intrigued Varun and tested his skills as an actor. Opening up about his process of portraying Suhas, Varun shared, 'If Suhas had been a straightforward character, just an alcoholic and good-for-nothing, it would've been easier to understand and portray. It's very easy to make such a character look like a villain. But the brief I received was very clear: no matter what he does or how he behaves, Suhas must remain lovable. That's where the complexity lies, and that's what made it so exciting. ' He further added, 'One wrong step and Suhas could easily come across as negative. To keep him endearing, you have to accept him as he is. And as an actor, somewhere deep inside, I had to forgive him first to play his character onscreen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Beyond Text Generation: An AI Tool That Helps You Write Better Grammarly Install Now Undo That's not easy.' Revealing the emotional struggle behind playing Suhas, Varun admitted, 'With every scene I read, there were moments I found myself disliking him, questioning his choices. And honestly, out of all the shows I've done, this is probably one of the most challenging roles I've taken up.' Concluding his thoughts, Varun said, 'Suhas is a beautifully written character, and I truly hope I do justice to the role.'

Directed by Ani I.V. Sasi and written by Vasanth Maringanti, the film is produced by Radhika Lavu under the banner of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd. Besides Keerthy Suresh, the film boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari in key roles. Uppu Kappurambu is set in the 1990s in the fictionalised village of Chitti Jayapuram. The story follows Apoorva, played by Keerthy Suresh, who becomes the village head after her father dies while serving in that role. Before his death, he trained Apoorva for the role. And when the time came for her to take the position, she felt that the job was anything but easy. A major problem arises when the village's gravedigger, Chinna, played by Suhas, informs Apoorva that there's no more space left in the burial ground.

According to reports, this movie will be based on the history of the education system of the nation. It will focus on the frauds that happen in the industry. The film is not titled yet. However, a source close to the the couple told Mid-Day, 'Their second production is a satirical take on today's money-making education system. The story, in a humorous way, highlights how the field of education is all about business and profits rather than imparting knowledge and building the future of the country. The leads play educators, who blow the lid on the goings-on." view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 18:24 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama Review: Suhas starrer refuses to commit to its own sentimentality
It's not often that you get to watch a Telugu cinema these days where the leading lady gets an equally prominent role as the 'hero.' There is a refreshing candidness to Satyabhama, the female protagonist of Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama. Played by Malavika Manoj, Satyabhama is brimming with quirks, impulse, and unpredictability. Be it in the scenes where she repeatedly refers to her grandmother as 'oldie' or the moment where she instinctively rips off the wig off a stranger's head. It's Bhama's antics and madcap storytelling sessions that evoke the most laughs. And yet, underneath her childlike adventures, Bhama is a mother figure replacement for Ram (Suhas) — she slyly gets him out of his shell, helps him express his honest opinions, and eventually find his true calling. Everything that she does is for the sake of Ram's journey. Even though she might appear to be, Bhama is not a Manic Pixie Dream Girl prototype — she is a mother in the garb of one. Cast: Suhas, Malavika Manoj, Ali, Ravindra Vijay, Anita Hassanandani Director: Ram Godhala Suhas starrer Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama is not a novel romantic comedy by any means, but at least it tries, in fragments and pieces. The first half is enjoyable in parts, despite its desperate attempts to play to the gallery (courtesy of its loud background score) and occasionally over-the-top energy. There are many gags and subplots in the first half that don't add up —like the one with a hunky college bully — and yet you trudge along because the overall vibe is that of mirth and quirk.

Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama Movie: Showtimes, Review, Songs, Trailer, Posters, News & Videos
Story: Ram (Suhas), a mild-mannered young man raised by his uncle after the untimely loss of his mother (Anita), leads a structured, no-nonsense life with plans to move abroad—until Satyabhama (Malavika Manoj) enters the frame. Vibrant, independent, and unpredictable, she challenges Ram's worldview and nudges him towards reconnecting with his long-abandoned passion for filmmaking. Review: Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama, directed by debutant Ram Godhala, attempts to weave a gentle romance with deeper emotional undercurrents. The film opens on a bright, breezy note, where the chemistry between Suhas and Malavika Manoj feels organic. Suhas is reliably grounded, while Malavika, impresses with charm and sincerity as the free-spirited Satyabhama. Ali offers well-timed comic relief in small bursts, without overstaying his welcome. Anita Hassanandani, Ravindra Vijay, Babloo Prithiveeraj, Moin Mohammad, Sathvik Anand and Harish Shankar round off a supporting cast that performs earnestly, though without bringing anything particularly new to the table. Radhan's music complements the film's mood, with its melodic appeal. Visually, the film is clean and polished. The film's biggest strength lies in its intention: to explore how love can be a catalyst for healing and growth. But its execution is uneven. The tonal shift from romantic comedy to emotionally heavy drama isn't handled with the finesse it requires. The screenplay begins to drag in the second half, with narrative detours and emotional beats that lack nuance. The climax, though well-meaning, feels too convenient and underwhelming. In the end, Oh Bhama Ayyo Rama is a film that works in parts. Its performances, music, and premise are engaging, but it falters when it tries to go deeper without the narrative precision to support it. As a debut, it shows promise—but the storytelling could have used more polish.
