Uppu Kappurambu OTT release date OUT: Keerthy Suresh-Suhas film to stream on Prime Video from THIS date
The much-anticipated Telugu satirical comedy 'Uppu Kappurambu', starring Keerthy Suresh and Suhas, is set to make its digital debut on Amazon Prime Video on July 4, 2025. Directed by Ani IV Sasi, the film brings together a refreshing blend of humour, social commentary, and eccentric characters, all set against the backdrop of a fictional Telugu village in the 1990s. At the heart of the story lies an unusual and quirky conflict — the village graveyard is running out of burial space. This peculiar problem sets off a chain of comedic events as the villagers try to find practical (and sometimes bizarre) solutions. Leading the charge is Apoorva, a newly appointed government official portrayed by Keerthy Suresh, and Chinna, the earnest graveyard caretaker played by Suhas. Together, they navigate the crisis while dealing with the idiosyncrasies of rural bureaucracy and community politics. The film's trailer hints at an engaging narrative filled with sharp satire, unexpected twists, and a celebration of collective spirit in rural life. It also features a supporting cast including Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari, adding further layers of humour and emotion. Keerthy Suresh, known for her intense and dramatic roles, steps into uncharted territory with a geeky, light-hearted character that has already caught the attention of fans. Her transformation into a slightly awkward, yet spirited bureaucrat marks a significant departure from her usual screen persona. Described as a satirical take on burial practices in rural Andhra, 'Uppu Kappurambu' promises not just laughs but also a commentary on the intersection of tradition, administration, and community problem-solving. With its unique premise and strong cast, 'Uppu Kappurambu' is shaping up to be a must-watch for Telugu cinema lovers when it arrives on streaming this July.

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.

'She was speaking rudely from the beginning. I took a shortcut through Jayanagar to save her time, but she kept questioning me and asked what I had studied and whether I knew how to drive,' Suhas said. He added that the situation escalated after he stopped about 100 metres from her office due to a blocked road. When she demanded the fare, he quoted ₹77, but said she responded by striking him with a tiffin box, he said. 'I held my patience as much as I could,' he said, claiming that after being hit twice and shouted at, he retaliated. 'I know we shouldn't hit women.

He said he attempted to report the incident to the store manager nearby but couldn't locate them. 'I explained to whoever was there that she raised her hand at me first,' Suhas said. The woman later approached Jayanagar police station and lodged a complaint. She alleged that the driver not only drove recklessly from BTM Layout to Jayanagar 3rd Block but also used abusive language and assaulted her in public when she questioned his driving.
