“Idupu Kayitham” Is an Entertaining Family Drama That Makes You Laugh and Think – Producer Bunny Vas at the Teaser Launch Event
The film is set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on December 11
Producer Bunny Vas and renowned director Sukumar are producing “Idupu Kayitham” under their banners Bunny Vas Works and Sukumar Writings, with Priyadarshi playing the lead role. Naga Durga, who gained recognition through her popular folk songs, plays the female lead. Young director Vamsi Reddy Dondapati has crafted the film as an entertaining family drama set against a family backdrop. The film is scheduled for a grand worldwide theatrical release on December 11. The teaser launch event was held in Hyderabad today. On this occasion, the team members shared their experiences.
Choreographer Verma Shrasti said, “I am happy to have got the opportunity to work on this film. Naga Durga impresses with her dance moves in the ‘Baraat’ song. My thanks to the entire team.”
Actor Vidyasagar said, “This is a beautiful family-oriented film, and everyone should watch it. I am happy to have got the opportunity to play an important character in this movie.”
Actress Vijaya said, “I played the role of Navya, a woman sarpanch, in this film. People often say that when a woman becomes a sarpanch, her husband exercises the authority. But times have changed. When women become sarpanches, they should take charge and shoulder all the responsibilities themselves. I thank our director and producers for giving me the opportunity to play such a good character.”
Actor Mime Madhu said, “The audience has shown great appreciation for our film’s title. They have made the songs ‘Srilatha’ and ‘Gadapa’ hits, and recently enjoyed the ‘Baraat’ song as well. We hope everyone will extend the same support to our film, which is releasing on December 11, and make it a success.”
Actor Vinod Bala said, “There has been a positive vibe among all of us ever since the film began. I hope this same energy continues until we celebrate the film’s 100-day run. The village atmosphere and the emotions portrayed in the film will definitely appeal to audiences. I have reduced the number of films I act in recently, so working with such a good team has been a very satisfying experience for me as an actor.”
Actress Chandravva said, “I played the role of the heroine’s mother in this film. People might initially think that the character is short-tempered, but she is actually a very good person. A mother feels anxious when sending her daughter to her in-laws’ home, worrying about how she will adjust to her new life there. These emotions will be seen through my character. I am confident that this film will be a success.”
Director Vamsi Reddy Dondapati said, “After entering the film industry and making a film, we have brought you a small glimpse of our work through this teaser. I am happy that you liked it. On this occasion, I would like to thank my parents and teachers, along with Thabitha garu, Sukumar garu and Bunny Vas garu for giving me the opportunity to become a director. The film has come out very well, and we are bringing it before you on December 11. We believe everyone will like it.
“We generally think of ‘Idupu Kayitham’ as a document that a couple writes when they decide to separate. However, my perspective is that the same document should be seen as a certificate that allows a couple to begin a new chapter in life after separation. I request audiences to look at the title from this perspective.”
Producer Thabitha Sukumar said, “I thank everyone who came forward to support our film ‘Idupu Kayitham’. I have watched the first half of the film. Director Vamsi Reddy narrated the story so beautifully, and he has translated it onto the screen just as effectively. Even when he narrated the story, I could visualise how the film would look. The final output is exactly how I had imagined it. This is a beautiful story, and I believe everyone will relate to it when they watch the film.
“Since I was born and brought up here, I have grown up watching our wedding traditions, the conversations among elders and the discussions that take place during family occasions. Watching those moments again in this film gave me a wonderful feeling. I am sure audiences will experience the same connection. I request everyone to watch our film in theatres when it releases on December 11.”
Producer Bunny Vas said, “We initially started feeling that whatever we did for this film could lead to some controversy. This fear began right from the title itself. All these controversies seemed rather silly to us. When a wife asks her husband, ‘Why aren’t you paying attention to me?’, no husband seems to have an answer. But there is a cute answer to that question in one particular scene in this film.
“This is a very good film. I request newly married couples to come to theatres along with their parents-in-law and watch it. The director has presented the small incidents that happen in our everyday lives in an engaging way, making us laugh at certain moments while also giving us something to think about. The dialogues feel just like conversations we have at home. Nothing feels overly cinematic. Vamsi Reddy will earn a good name as a director through this film.
“We are definitely releasing the film on December 11. We will release the trailer soon, and it will be even better than the teaser. Your ticket money will not go to waste. Priyadarshi and Naga Durga’s performances will impress everyone. Priyadarshi brought this story to us and made this film happen with our support, so the credit for its success should also go to him.
“When we were thinking about whether to take up a family drama, Tabitha garu came forward, saying that these are exactly the kind of films audiences watch. The Gen Z members of our team made this film, while we took care of the financial aspects. I have watched the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am confident that you will love it too.”
Heroine Naga Durga said, “We believe you liked the teaser of our film, and I am confident that the movie will entertain you just as much. Audiences have been making the songs released so far a success, and we are going to release more good songs. Each song will be better than the previous one. Suresh Bobbili anna has given wonderful music. I thank our hero Priyadarshi and the director and producers for giving me this opportunity.”
Hero Priyadarshi said, “When a story is narrated with honesty, it connects with everyone. This has been proven many times in the film industry. This is our story – a story that takes place in every one of our homes. There is no drama greater than family drama. I am proud to have worked with such a wonderful team, and the film has come out very well.
“When I used to step out of the house as a child, my mother would come forward to wish me good luck. In the same way, Thabitha akka came forward to support this film. I thank her for giving all of us the confidence that this film had to be made. Bunny Vas anna is the first pillar behind this project. He is not just a producer; there is a great director within him, and only those who have worked with him would know that.
“I have heard that our director Vamsi Reddy is doing another film under Sukumar Writings. I will always cherish the happiness of having worked with a good-hearted technician like Vamsi. I promise that this will be a great film, backed by an equally wonderful team. Naga Durga will earn recognition not just as a good dancer but also as a talented performer through this film.”
