"'Uppu Kappurambu' draws from a world I've long wanted to bring to screen. Set against the quirky and chaotic backdrop of rural life in the '90s, it uses satire and humour to explore how ordinary people navigate extraordinary situations with limited means but an unbreakable spirit," the director said in a statement.
"We wanted it to be something that deals with very serious issues in society but in a very silly and cartoonish way. This film is a sincere attempt to blend comedy with meaningful commentary, brought to life by an incredible cast and crew," he added.
Nikhil Madhok, director and head of Originals, Prime Video, India said, "'Uppu Kappurambu' is a thought-provoking, yet delightfully quirky satire that captures the essence of an authentic rural milieu whilst bringing to the fore an unconventional theme. We are proud to collaborate with Ellanar Films, and take Ani I V Sasi's unique vision, alongside a talented cast led by Keerthy Suresh and Suhas, to a global audience."
The upcoming film is produced by Radhika Lavu.
