Stardom in the film industry can be fleeting, and actress Keerthy Suresh’s career trajectory over the past few years is a testament to that. It hasn’t even been a full decade since the release of Mahanati (2018), the biopic that catapulted her to the pinnacle of South Indian cinema. Her portrayal of the legendary actress Savitri was not only powerful but also career-defining — earning her critical acclaim and widespread recognition.
Since then, Keerthy has acted in 23 films over seven years, reflecting a busy and diverse filmography. However, only a handful of those projects have managed to leave a lasting impact. While big-budget ventures like Sarkaru Vaari Paata and Dasara found box office success, much of the credit was directed towards the male leads, overshadowing her contributions. Films like Rang De with Nithiin made only a modest impact, and many others failed to make a mark commercially or critically.
Though she is associated with the ambitious sci-fi spectacle Kalki 2898 AD, her involvement is limited to voicing the character “Bujji,” with no physical screen presence — a move that offers little value in terms of star visibility. Her recent attempt to break into Bollywood with Baby John also fell short of expectations, temporarily closing doors in the Hindi film space.
Today marks the release of her latest project, Uppu Kappurambu, an OTT original on Amazon Prime Video. Unfortunately, the film has arrived with minimal promotion and little public anticipation. Even her ardent supporters, who once celebrated her Mahanati performance, seemed unaware of the film’s release — a worrying sign in today’s highly competitive digital content space.
Whether this lack of buzz is due to Keerthy’s declining stardom or the platform’s insufficient promotional push is debatable. While discussions around the film’s content may yet emerge in the days ahead, the subdued pre-release atmosphere has undoubtedly hindered its initial momentum.
Keerthy Suresh’s post-Mahanati stardom has faced a gradual decline, weighed down by underwhelming projects and a string of box office misfires. The lukewarm reception to Uppu Kappurambu further underscores this narrative. Still, there’s hope that strong storytelling and performance in the film may revive some of her lost sheen.
For now, the spotlight is back on Keerthy — but whether it will shine bright or dim further remains to be seen.
