The makers of the Jyotika-starrer Tamil language film Udanpirappe dropped the trailer of the much-anticipated film on Monday. Written and directed by Era Saravanan, the family drama marks the actress’ 50th film.
If the trailer of Udanpirappe is anything to go by, the film is set in Tamil Nadu’s Pudukkottai district and revolves around two siblings Vairavan (Sasikumar) and Mathangi (Jyotika). While Vairavan is of the belief that justice has to be claimed anyhow, Mathangi’s husband Sargunam (Samuthirakani) rests his faith in the law. As differences intensify over the years, the two get driven by the goal of uniting their families.
Talking about the film and what led her to say yes to it, Jyotika said, “Family and relationships have always been the core of my being. When I was narrated the story, I knew I wanted to be a part of this emotionally satisfying family drama. It has been a delightful experience working with a talented ensemble cast and putting together this labour of love and passion. Udanpirappe is also my 50th film, and as an actor, I am thankful for all the love my fans have showered on me over the years.”
Suriya, who has bankrolled the film under the banner of 2D Entertainment, added, “It is a heart-warming film brought to life by some fine actors and we believe it will resonate with audiences in India and beyond, and also bring families together this festive season of Dussehra.”
In addition to Jyotika, Sasikumar, and Samuthirakani, Udanpirappe also features Soori, Kalaiyarasan, Nivedhithaa Sathish, and Sija Rose in important roles. The film is set to stream directly on Amazon Prime Video from October 14.

Nobody saw Charli XCX coming during Role Model’s Saturday Night Live slot. She just walked on stage.
Her choice of a Max's Kansas City t-shirt immediately set fan theories alight.
Swifties linked the top to Taylor Swift’s fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce.
It turns out, the whole thing was far simpler because she grabbed the shirt from Role Model himself.
A simple t-shirt choice during a surprise cameo has sent the pop world into a spin. Charli XCX appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend, joining musical guest Role Model for his performance, and fans are convinced her outfit contained a pointed message for Taylor Swift. The British singer’s Max’s Kansas City top, seen during the broadcast, is being widely interpreted as a new chapter in their rumoured feud, following pointed lyrics on both of their latest records.
Fans think Charli XCX trolled Taylor Swift with Kansas City shirt during surprise SNL cameo Instagram/rolemodel
What happened during the SNL performance?
The moment happened during Role Model’s set. As he sang his track Sally, When the Wine Runs Out, he called out for his ‘Sally’. On cue, Charli XCX emerged through the stage doors to a roar from the crowd, dancing through the bridge of the song. She was in full brat mode, no surprise there. A black leather skirt, those boots, the tights. But the beat-up band shirt she had borrowed? That is what did it.

So, why is the internet losing its collective mind over a t-shirt?
Well, if you are deep in the pop gossip sphere, it makes perfect sense. Taylor Swift’s whole world lately seems to include Kansas City, thanks to her fiancé Travis Kelce playing for the Chiefs. So, when you see ‘Kansas City’ printed across Charli’s chest right after all this feud chatter? It does not look like a coincidence. It looks like a shot.
Social media lit up instantly, with fans calling the move "the tea" and calling the situation "actually romantic," a direct nod to the song from Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl that many believe is about Charli.

So was the shirt really a jab at Taylor Swift?
Not according to the facts. Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, quickly clarified on his Instagram Story that Charli had simply borrowed the shirt from him. He had worn the very same Max’s Kansas City top, a reference to a famed New York nightclub, not the Missouri city, in promotional material for the episode. His own sophomore album is titled Kansas Anymore, making the shirt a piece of his own branding. Despite this explanation, the visual symbolism in the heat of the rumoured feud was simply too powerful for fans to ignore.
