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.

FIR Against Bengaluru Bike Taxi Driver For Assault On Woman Passenger
An FIR was lodged on Monday against a bike taxi driver for allegedly assaulting a woman passenger within the Jayanagar police station limits in Bengaluru, an official said. According to the police, the incident occurred on June 13. The accused bike taxi driver has been identified as Suhas. DCP Lokesh Jagalasar stated that on June 13, at around 10 a.m., there was an argument, followed by slapping of a woman by a Rapido bike taxi driver. The woman was asked to register an FIR that day but she refused. However, she has come forward to register a case in connection with the matter on Monday. The woman had objected to the 'unsafe' driving by the accused, after which an altercation had ensued following which he had slapped her. An investigation is underway in this regard and the accused is being questioned, DCP Lokesh stated. Meanwhile, the police confirmed that they have also collected video of the young woman repeatedly hitting the bike taxi driver -- first using her hands, and later by her bag -- in the presence of public. Police said that an argument broke out between the bike taxi driver and the woman over over-speeding, rash, and negligent driving. In the middle of the argument, in full public view, the bike taxi driver slapped the woman, causing her to fall to the ground. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, raising concerns about the safety of women in Bengaluru. The victim approached the police station and submitted the video. Initially, the police had filed a Non-Cognizable Report regarding the issue. The bike taxi driver, Suhas, told the media on Monday that the woman had abused and hit him first, and he had merely retaliated. "I had taken a shortcut to reach the destination, and halfway, the lady asked me to stop and abused me in English. I tried to tell her that I have been operating a bike taxi for five years and knew the shortest route. After reaching the destination, she assaulted me with her tiffin box in full public view. I could not take the insult and hit her back," he claimed. The accused driver further claimed that he had informed her manager about her "violent behaviour". He stated that he received a call from the police and would cooperate with the investigation. The police have booked the bike taxi driver under Sections 352 (intentional insult with the intent to provoke a breach of peace), 115 (2) (voluntarily causing hurt) and 79 (insulting the modesty of a woman).
