K-Ramp is a 2025 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Jains Nani, starring Kiran Abbavaram[4] and Yukti Thareja in the lead roles. The film was released theatrically on 18 October 2025, coinciding with Diwali week.[5]
Despite mixed reviews, it was commercially successful at the box office.
Kumar Abbavaram is a spoiled rich kid who lives for leisure, nightlife, and ego-driven charm. When Mercy, a kind yet traumatized woman battling PTSD, enters his life, he mistakes her empathy for affection. After his father sends him to Kerala to mature, Kumar slowly confronts the reality of Mercy’s mental health struggles. His misguided attempts to “save” her turn into a lesson in empathy and responsibility. K-Ramp follows a self-absorbed man’s uneasy transformation from entitlement to understanding.[6]

Production
The film was launched with a puja ceremony in early 2025 under the banners Hasya Movies and Rudransh Celluloids, with producers Razesh Danda and Shiva Bommak.[citation needed] Principal shooting began in May 2025[7]
The first look poster was unveiled on 30 June 2025, depicting Abbavaram in a lungi with stylized backdrops (bottles in heart shape) and vibrant visuals that hint at a mass entertainer.[8]
A promotional glimpse titled “The Richest Chiller Guy” was released on 14 July 2025, partially shot at Kochi Port, with the lead shown in a relaxed, swaggy avatar.[9]
Marketing and Release
A teaser was released on YouTube featuring cast and technical crew details. The promotional “Richest Chiller Guy” glimpse,[10] stylized posters, and release date announcements have formed key parts of the marketing campaign and received criticism from some quarters for containing suggestive or risqué dialogue.
Kiran Abbavaram has publicly expressed that K-Ramp is encountering screen allocation challenges in Tamil Nadu, highlighting a perceived disparity in distribution for Telugu films in that region.[11] The director explained that the ‘K’ stands for Kumar, the protagonist, and ‘ramp’ represents his journey.
The film received an "A" certificate due to the childhood scenes of heroine where her family said they will suicide. The censor board suggested to remove the scene as the scene may not suitable for younger audiences but the makers refused and instead went with A certificate.
