Ram Charan goes beast mode for Peddi

Ram Charan is leaving no stone unturned for his most ambitious project yet, “Peddi.”

Directed by Uppena fame Buchi Babu Sana and produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, the film is being presented by leading banners Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings. Mounted on a never-before scale, “Peddi” has already created a nationwide buzz with its powerful first glimpse, which struck a chord across multiple languages.

Ram Charan’s transformation

The film’s crucial and lengthy shooting schedule is set to kick off tomorrow, marking a pivotal phase in the production. Ahead of this major leg, Ram Charan has been rigorously preparing for his intense new role.

From a grueling fitness regime to method-style immersion, Charan is pushing his boundaries like never before. His recent gym photo reveals a dramatic transformation: a rugged beard, slicked-back hair, and a chiseled, beast-like physique. This look isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a reflection of the raw intensity and emotional depth the role demands.

Ram Charan’s dedication underscores his passion for the film. The physical change, driven by discipline and willpower, stands as a testament to his commitment to delivering a career-defining performance.

Adding to the anticipation is an impressive ensemble cast. Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar’s first look, released recently on his birthday, set social media abuzz. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, alongside veterans Jagapathi Babu and Divyendu Sharma in key roles.

Behind the camera, the technical team is top-tier. Renowned cinematographer R. Rathnavelu is crafting the film’s grand visuals, while the soundtrack is in the hands of Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman. National Award-winning editor Navin Nooli will take charge of the film’s cuts.

A birthday treat

“Peddi” is slated for a grand theatrical release on March 27, 2026, coinciding with Ram Charan’s birthday. With every new reveal, excitement for the film continues to skyrocket, making it one of the most awaited releases in Indian cinema.

As the next shooting phase begins and Charan continues to immerse himself in this powerful role, all eyes are on Peddi—a film that promises not just spectacle, but a performance to remember.
