Anupama also refers to an egg that her husband had bought recently. The mystery deepens when the security tightens around the apartment where Anupama stays. There’s confusion between Anupama and her husband over a person’s death. What’s the common link to these incidents?Priyamani is cast as Anupama, an over-curious homemaker who runs a popular YouTube channel Anupama Ghumaghuma.

Talking at the launch, the extremely popular Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda said, “ I’m thrilled to be a part of the Bhamakalapam trailer launch. The showrunner Bharat Kamma, producer Bapineedu and director Abhimanyu Tadimeti together make a brilliant team and I’m excited to see what they bring to the table. I’m thrilled to see Priyamani making her Telugu OTT debut with aha. I binge-watched both seasons of The Family Man and missed the characters when the show ended. Regardless of language, she brings rootedness and authenticity to every performance. I will watch Bhamakalapam on aha on February 11 and I hope audiences watch and encourage it. aha is bringing exclusive Telugu content, telling our stories and I wish nothing but the best for them and the team behind Bhamapkalapam.”
