At the grand trailer launch of Peddi, actor Ram Charan spoke about the inspiration behind the film and thanked Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Aamir Khan for creating impactful sports dramas that motivated actors across the industry. According to Ram Charan, films like Sultan and Dangal helped filmmakers and actors believe that emotionally driven sports stories could connect strongly with audiences.
Speaking at the event, Ram Charan said that both Salman Khan and Aamir Khan played an important role in shaping the success of sports-based cinema in India. He explained that their performances and the popularity of those films gave confidence to actors from other film industries to experiment with similar genres. The actor expressed gratitude to them for “paving the way” and making audiences accept sports dramas with powerful emotional storytelling.
Ram Charan also shared how deeply connected he has become to Peddi during the making of the project. He revealed that he has been emotionally invested in the film for nearly two years, while director Buchi Babu Sana dedicated almost five years to bringing the story to life. The actor praised the director’s commitment and passion, saying the film demanded immense hard work from the entire team.
During the interaction, Ram Charan spoke about the physical challenges he faced while shooting intense wrestling sequences for the movie. In a humorous moment, he revealed that he suffered a ligament injury in his hand while filming. Jokingly blaming director Buchi Babu Sana, the actor said the filmmaker chose to bring real wrestlers onto the set instead of trained stunt performers, which resulted in the injury. Despite the pain, Ram Charan described the experience as memorable and said the injury became part of the emotional journey of making the film.
Peddi is being promoted as much more than a regular sports entertainer. Set against a rural backdrop, the film revolves around a determined young man who uses sports as a tool to unite his village and protect the pride of his community. The story reportedly combines action, emotion, sports, and village drama, creating a strong emotional narrative aimed at family audiences as well as sports lovers.
The trailer has already generated strong buzz among fans, especially because of Ram Charan’s rugged transformation and intense performance. Viewers have praised the film’s visuals, emotional depth, and realistic sports sequences. Industry experts believe the film could become one of the biggest Telugu releases of the year if the audience connects with its emotional storytelling.
Apart from the sports angle, the film is also expected to highlight themes of self-respect, unity, and resilience. Fans are especially excited to see Ram Charan in a completely different role after his previous blockbuster performances.
With expectations rising every day, Peddi is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on June 4, 2026. Reports suggest that special premiere shows may begin a day earlier on June 3, creating even more excitement among movie lovers. As the release date approaches, the film continues to gain attention across social media and cinema circles, making it one of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year.
