Kappela has been getting rave response after its release in Netflix. The film is getting much appreciation from non-Malayali audience. It is also common that all quality Malayalam films are being remade in other languages. Kappela’s telugu remake rights have been bagged by Sithara Entertainments, who bankrolled films like ‘Ala Vaikunthappuramulo’ and Jersey. The banner had earlier acquired the rights of other hit Malayalam films like ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ and ‘Premam’.
‘Kappela’ producer Vishnu Venu shared the big news with his followers in Facebook. He has written,
Announcing a happy news! Kappela is to be remade in telugu by Sithara Entertainments (Producers of Allu Arjun’s Ala Vaikunthapuramulo, Jersey Movie, and many more). Kappela is the third movie from malayalam industry after Premam & Ayyappanum Koshiyum to be bought by them!
Expressing our sincere thanks to all well wishers for making our small movie a grand success!

Kadhaas Untold
‘Kappela’ is directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Muhammed Mustafa. He has also scripted the film jointly with Nikhil Vahid and Sudhas. Anna Ben, Sreenath Bhasi and Roshan Mathew play the lead roles.
It is the story of a young woman from a rural background who gets trapped in a particular situation. Basically, the film tries to tell how human perceptions can go awfully wrong. The relevant issue discussed in the film coupled with a suspense-filled screenplay ensures that the film can be remade in any language with some tweaking to make it appealing to the native audience.
