Peddi: Ram Charan on how the sports action drama changed him as person and actor
In a conversation with India Today, Ram Charan said, “I am very fortunate to be playing this character. We are representing a section of people who are unheard, who need a voice and recognition. To play a character like that, which is very necessary in a country like India, makes me feel proud and fortunate to have come across a role like this.”
“This is the most difficult character I have played. My co-actors humble me a lot. Working with great talents humbles me, great success humbles me, and having someone like my father at home humbles me. All these things keep me grounded. I am humbled by all of this. So how can you be anything but grateful and humble?” the actor added.
Peddi revolves around a young and spirited man from a village who is regarded as a legend in multiple sports, including cricket, wrestling, and running. As he navigates the challenges of everyday life, he faces the biggest test of his journey and strives to make a name for himself using the talent he has honed over the years.
The sports action drama is touted as a journey of self-discovery and excellence. The film also explores themes of personal rivalry and budding romance. Alongside Ram Charan, the film stars Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Divyenndu, Boman Irani, Jagapathi Babu, and several others in key roles.
Initially, the film was scheduled to release on March 27, 2026, before being postponed to April 30, 2026. However, due to pending production work, the makers ultimately locked June 4, 2026, as the final release date, particularly after Yash's Toxic was postponed.
