“Uppu Kappurambu draws from a world I’ve long wanted to bring to screen,” shares Director Ani I.V. Sasi.
“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. 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. I’m excited about its launch on Prime Video, which will help this unique, rooted story connect with audiences around the world.”
