Uppi 2
Uppi 2 is a 2015 Indian Kannada-language allegorical thriller film written and directed by Upendra, and produced by his wife and actress Priyanka Upendra. It is a sequel to the 1999 cult film Upendra. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Upendra, Kristina Akheeva, Parul Yadav, Sayaji Shinde, Shobaraj, Satyajit, Bank Janardhan, Vaijanath Biradar and Mimicry Dayanand. The soundtrack and background score were composed by Gurukiran.
Uppi 2 was released on 14 August 2015, coinciding with Indian Independence Day, and received mixed reviews for its convoluted plot and narrative. Despite this, the film became a commercial success and completed 50 days run at the box-office and became one of the highest grossing Kannada movie of 2015. Upendra won the SIIMA Award for Best Director for the film. It was dubbed in Telugu as Upendra 2 and was released along with the Kannada version.
Neenu (transl. You) is a happy and content person, who never thinks about the future and is undisturbed by the past. He hardly earns anything despite his toil since he never takes money from anyone for his services, often menial jobs, asked to him to be done by the people of his locality and the crew of the film production unit. Lakshmi, a psychology student, takes interest in him after she learns from her professor about Naanu (transl. I). (The character from the prequel who eventually becomes Neenu) Her constant pursuit of him eventually leads to his discovery. Moved by his happy, unblemished and selfless personality, she eventually falls in love with him, but she fails to take him out of his strange world of selflessness.
Meanwhile, Saleem is a crime boss based in Dubai, who is aided by his trusted aide "Malpe" Bala and his henchmen in finding Neenu, regarding a property worth ₹100 crore (US$12 million) belonging to a rich widow named Mandakini, who has become a follower of Neenu, who was formerly an aghori. The aghori is also being shown exploiting Sheela, who comes seeking spiritual advice after being dejected in love. Simultaneously, Neenu is seen being chased by police officer Shinde, who tries to find him and embezzle the property. Unknown about this, some of the officers from the CID interpret Neenu as an undercover agent trying to capture Saleem.
Neenu finally manages to subdue his chasers by instigating the cops against the goons and grips with Lakshmi. It becomes apparent that Mandakini is a "fictional character" imagined by the cops and Neenu is just a normal man. The will made by Mandakini of her property gives a philosophical view that when one stops saying Naanu (transl. I), which symbolizes fear, anger, jealousy and selfishness; holds to Neenu (transl. You), which symbolizes gratitude, kindness, selflessness; and when one stops thinking about the past and the future, will khushi (transl. Happiness), the "daughter" of Mandakini (transl. Calmness in the Heart) would stay with him forever.
Following the massive success of his 1999 film Upendra, Upendra had always wanted to make a sequel to it. Having written the story sometime in the early 2000s, it was ready by 2004. In January 2012, Upendra announced that he is working on the script for the sequel titled Upendra 2. The first posters of Upendra 2 were released on the Internet on 16 September 2012. The posters featured a huge rectangle, with no clear name inside it, but with a heap of mathematical formulae – be it arithmetic, algebra, geometry, analytical geometry, calculus and so on – and had a byline – "directed by Upendra". The title of the film was changed to Uppi 2 after he saw it painted on the back of an auto rickshaw. Uppi 2 was launched by Upendra on 18 September 2013 at Kanteerava Studios in Bangalore, amongst thousands of fans gathered to witness the launch. Lathi Charge from the police to control the crowd of fans gathered at the venue was reported.
As the makers were on the lookout for the female lead for the film, the names of Bollywood actresses Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vidya Balan made rounds. Eventually, a Russian model-turned-actress Kristina Akheeva landed the role.
Right from the time Upendra announced of making the film, posters made by fans began circulating on social media platforms, most of which featured Upendra in costume from his eponymous prequel to Uppi 2. The official first look poster was revealed on 1 November 2014. This was followed by numerous fan-made posters released by Upendra on his Facebook page, which were in turn circulated and received widespread popularity leading up to the film's release. The first teaser trailer of the film was released on 18 September 2014, marking Upendra's 47th birthday. Alongside, fan-made Dubsmash videos and teasers were circulated and shared by the official Facebook and Twitter handles of the film. The first look poster of the film's Telugu version was released in August 2015. Upendra launched an official app of the film and other merchandise including T-shirts featuring the film's title logo, a week prior to its release. The second teaser trailer was released on 10 August 2015. It featured Upendra doing a yoga posture, sirsasana, in the Himalayan region, and sporting the look of an aghori. The cutout poster of this was unveiled by him at a theatre in Bangalore.
