Apoorva: A Character with Depth and Nuance
Speaking about her character Apoorva, Keerthy described her as idealistic, determined, and slightly out of her depth — a village chief dealing with a strange crisis: a shortage of burial land.

A Satirical Story Set in Rural South India
Set in a fictional South Indian village, Uppu Kappurambu is a satirical coming-of-age tale where bureaucracy outweighs humanity, leading to an absurd shortage of burial plots.
The film is produced by Radhika Lavu under Ellanar Films Pvt Ltd, and features a stellar ensemble cast including Suhas, Babu Mohan, Shatru, and Talluri Rameshwari alongside Keerthy.
Now Streaming on Prime Video
Uppu Kappurambu is now streaming exclusively on Prime Video in Telugu, with dubbed versions available in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
