“A Relatable Family Drama That Makes You Laugh and Think”: Producer Bunny Vas and Priyadarshi Launch the Entertaining Teaser of ‘Idupu Kayitham’
Touted as a heartwarming, highly relatable family entertainer, ‘Idupu Kayitham’ is officially gearing up for a grand worldwide theatrical release on December 11. Produced jointly by star producer Bunny Vas and acclaimed director Sukumar under their respective banners—Bunny Vas Works and Sukumar Writings—the film stars versatile actor Priyadarshi in the lead role, alongside folk sensation Naga Durga making her acting debut as the female lead.
Directed by young filmmaker Vamsi Reddy Dondapati, the film’s official teaser was unveiled at a grand launch event in Hyderabad, where the core cast and crew shared their behind-the-scenes journeys.
Bunny Vas: “A Cute Family Drama That Reflects Everyday Life”
Producer Bunny Vas opened up about the initial apprehension surrounding the film's provocative title and how the team turned it into an engaging narrative strength:
“We initially felt that whatever we did for this film could spark some minor controversies, beginning right from the title itself. But those concerns feel silly now. When a wife asks her husband why he isn't paying attention, most husbands have no answer—yet this film offers a wonderfully cute answer to that in one particular scene. This is a very good film. I request newly married couples to come to theatres along with their parents-in-law. Vamsi Reddy has captured everyday household incidents in an engaging way that will make you laugh while giving you something to think about.”
Highlighting Priyadarshi’s involvement, Bunny Vas revealed that it was Priyadarshi who originally brought the script to them, ensuring the credit for getting the film made rests squarely on his shoulders.
Priyadarshi and Tabitha Sukumar on the Core Vision
Lead actor Priyadarshi spoke passionately about the honesty embedded in the narrative:
“When a story is narrated with honesty, it connects with everyone. This is our story—a tale that unfolds in every single one of our homes. There is simply no drama greater than family drama. I am proud to have worked with such a wonderful team. Tabitha akka stepped forward to support this project with the warmth of a mother wishing her child luck before stepping out.”
Producer Tabitha Sukumar added that watching the film brought back nostalgic memories of traditional wedding customs, elder gatherings, and family conversations she grew up with, expressing absolute confidence that audiences will experience the same emotional resonance.
Director Vamsi Reddy Dondapati shed light on the deeper meaning of the title:
“We generally think of ‘Idupu Kayitham’ as a document that a couple writes when separating. However, my perspective is that this same document should be viewed as a certificate allowing a couple to begin a brand-new chapter in life.”
