Keerthy Suresh on what drew her to 'Uppu Kappurambu': Its blend of satire, heart
Keerthy Suresh
said the unique blend of satire and heart drew her to the film.
"What drew me to Uppu Kappurambu was its unique blend of satire and heart," said Keerthy.
Talking 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."
She said that the film uses humour and local flavour to spotlight something serious, and that's what makes it hit home.
The Telugu Original Movie is a satire comedy set in a fictional South Indian village grappling with increased pressure on its burial infrastructure.
It also stars Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari.
As per the statement, the film is set in the early 1990s, unfolds in Chitti Jayapuram, a seemingly quiet village with a very bizarre crisis, it's run by Uppu Kappurambu out of space to bury the dead.
As the newly appointed, idealistic village head Apoorva takes charge, she faces ridicule from locals who are uncomfortable with a woman in power. Determined to fix things, she turns to Chinna, the quirky graveyard caretaker, whose own motives spark unintended chaos.

"Playing Chinna was unlike anything I've done before," shares Suhas.
He added: "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."
Produced by Radhika Lavu, under the banner of Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd, the film is directed by Ani. I.V. Sasi, Uppu Kappurambu will premiere on Prime Video on July 4.

Kalakshetra gears up for spectacular overhaul with light show, museum
1 2 3 4 5 6 Guwahati: Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra Society (SSKS) gears up for a series of cultural and infrastructural upgrades, including a light and sound show, a musical fountain, and new landmark projects such as a museum dedicated to Dr Bhupen Hazarika, a theatre experience centre, and a state-of-the-art 800-seater auditorium. Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, in a post on X on Thursday, shared a video of Kalakshetra and announced that the revamped amphitheatre and light and sound show are "coming soon". The storyline for the light and sound show is based on the life and journey of Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev -- the great Vaishnavite saint and social reformer of Assam. "The light and sound show is set to be open to the public in Oct or Nov, while the musical fountain show is scheduled for Aug or Sept," said SSKS secretary Sudarsan Thakur. The construction of a new museum based on the life and works of 'Dr Bhupen Hazarika' will start in Sept, and the new auditorium — featuring advanced acoustic technology — is expected to be inaugurated around Sept or Oct. Once completed, it will become the second largest auditorium within the Kalakshetra premises, next only to the Srimanta Sankardeva International Auditorium, which has a 1,250-seat capacity, Thakur said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Newick: If You Were Born Between 1945-1974 You Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Get Quote Undo As part of its theatre archive project, the SSKS is also developing the theatre experience centre — the first of its kind in the country — on the ground floor of the new auditorium.
