RajKummar Rao and Varun Dhawan dropped the movie's trailer on their Instagram stories and showered it with praise.
Keerthy Suresh is counting down the days until the release of her highly anticipated film, Uppu Kappurambu. With each passing day, the buzz surrounding the upcoming Telugu movie is reaching a fever pitch as the makers continue to pique the interest of fans with new updates. And the latest one is the release of its highly anticipated trailer. The makers dropped the video on Instagram, sending waves of excitement among fans. And guess what? The entertainment industry also couldn't stop itself from praising it.
The film is receiving a flurry of reactions from B-town, and recently Varun Dhawan gave a huge shout-out to the upcoming film. Impressed by the trailer, the actor took to his Instagram stories and wrote, 'What a lovely trailer, @keerthysureshofficial. My most favourite film of yours evaaa."
RajKummar Rao also dropped the movie's trailer on his Instagram stories and showered it with praise. Expressing his excitement to watch the upcoming thriller, he penned, 'Looks so much fun. Looking forward, @keerthysureshofficial. Superrrr @primevideoin."
Coming to Uppu Kappurambu, the film is set to premiere on Prime Video on July 4. It will be available to stream in Telugu with dubs in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Kannada, as well as subtitles in 12 languages, including English. 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 upcoming film boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari in key roles.
Set in the early 1990s, Uppu Kappurambu unfolds in a fictional South Indian village, Chitti Jayapuram. The death rates are outnumbered by bureaucracy in the village, and the burial plots are in short supply. As the newly appointed idealistic village head, Apoorva (Keerthy Suresh) steps in, she faces ridicule from locals who are uncomfortable with a woman in power. But as she determined to fix things, she turned to the quirky graveyard caretaker, Chinna (Suhas), whose own motives sparked unintended chaos.
Speaking about Varun Dhawan's professional front, the actor is currently busy shooting for Border 2. The Anurag Singh film, the sequel to the 1997 war drama Border, also stars Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty and Sunny Deol. The actor also has Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai in his pipeline. Directed by the legendary comedy film director David Dhawan, the rom-com film is slated for a grand theatrical release in October 2025.
RajKummar Rao, on the other hand, will be next seen in Pulkit's directorial Maalik. In the action-thriller, the actor will play the role of a gangster for the first time. The film also features Medha Shankar and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar in key roles.
