Bhamakalapam trailer: Case of a missing 200-crore worth Faberge egg in Priyamani’s Aha thriller comedy

Priyamani’s upcoming Bhamakalapam, which marks her debut in the Telugu web space, is set to release on Aha on February 11. The Abhimanyu Tadimeti directorial, has been pegged as a ‘delicious home-cooked thriller’, in which Priya plays a homemaker Anupama, who runs a popular cookery channel on Youtube, Anupama Ghumaghuma.

The trailer, which was released today by actor Vijay Deverakonda, opens with the case of a missing egg from a museum in Kolkata. The Faberge egg, valued at Rs 200 crore had been replaced with a fake and the cops investigating the case land up at the apartment complex that Anupama stays at. There’s a reference to eggs that her husband bought at the store recently, as well as to a person’s death. But what’s all this got to do with Anupama? Well, you’ve got to wait till February 11 to find out.

Bhamakalapam, produced by Sudheer Edara and Bogavalli Bapineedu under SVCC Digital (also the makers of Ashoka Vanam Lo Arjuna Kalyanam), has John Vijay, Sharanya Pradeep, Pammi Sai and Shanti Rao essay crucial roles. Talking to OTTplay earlier about why she took up Bhamakalapam, Priya had said, “A lot of new directors are coming up with really interesting subjects, like, for instance, my upcoming Telugu OTT movie, Bhamakalapam, which is also coming out in Tamil, for which I have just finished dubbing. It is a thriller that follows a normal middle-class woman from a happy family. She is a Youtube influencer of sorts, who puts up videos of her cooking every day and then unwittingly gets involved in a particular situation. As she tries to get out of it, she gets entangled even further and the whole narrative has a tinge of dark comedy. I thought this was something interesting to do, which I had not done in the Telugu or Tamil market, and it was for this platform called aha, so I decided to do it.”
