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. The actress is already in the limelight for her role in Revolver Rita, a female-led action thriller, and Akka, a Hindi film produced by Yash Raj Films. First Published:

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. As she seeks a solution, she must also contend with two powerful men in the village, Bheemayya and Madhubabu, who are opposed to the idea of being governed by a woman. They try to bring her down. Besides Keerthy and Suhas, the film also stars Babu Mohan, Shatru, Talluri Rameshwari, Subhalekha Sudhakar, Ravi Teja, Vishnu O.I., Duvvasi Mohan, Sivannarayana and Prabhavathi Varma.

Mohammed Siraj Becomes 1st Bowler In The World To...
Last Updated: Stokes came out to bat at No. 6 for England in the first innings of the ongoing 2nd India Test at Edgbaston but failed to open his account. Ben Stokes came out to bat at No. 6 for England in the first innings of the ongoing second Test against India at Edgbaston but failed to score any runs. He, in fact, was sent back to the pavilion by Mohammed Siraj on the first ball he faced. The golden duck on Friday (July 4) was Stokes' first first-ball dismissal in Test cricket. Since making his Test debut for the English team against Australia at Adelaide Oval on December 5, 2013, Stokes has failed to open his account 16 times in 202 innings of 113 Tests, but Friday was the first time he got out for a first-ball duck in Tests. Siraj, who is leading India's bowling attack in the Birmingham Test in the absence of world No. 1 Test bowler Jasprit Bumrah, dismissed Joe Root for 22 runs on the third ball of the 22nd over of England's first innings and on the next ball removed Stokes. Both Root and Stokes were caught behind by Rishabh Pant. England had high expectations from Root and Stokes on Friday, but both failed to make any significant contribution with the bat. In the first two days of the ongoing second Test, India's Test captain Shubman Gill made headlines for his super show with the bat. Gill, after coming out to bat at No. 4 for Wednesday (July 2), scored 269 runs from 387 balls. He hammered 30 fours and 3 sixes during his stay at the crease and helped India post a total of 587 runs in the first innings. The 269-run knock in the first innings helped Gill become the first Indian captain to score a double century in SENA countries, and he also broke Sachin Tendulkar's record of the highest score by an Indian batter in SENA countries. During the 2004 Sydney Test between India and Australia, Tendulkar remained unbeaten on 241 runs in the first innings. During his 269-run knock, Gill also broke Virat Kohli's record of highest score (254 vs. South Africa in October 2019) by an Indian captain in Test cricket. For India, apart from Gill, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja impressed with their batting in the first innings. While Jaiswal scored 87 runs from 107 balls, Jadeja smacked 89 runs from 137 balls and added 203 runs for the sixth wicket with Gill.
