Telugu cinema’s beloved Global Star Ram Charan is back with a bang—this time stepping into a rugged, rooted avatar in the highly anticipated rural action drama PEDDI. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, known for his impactful debut with Uppena, this marks their first collaboration and has already stirred massive excitement across the industry and among fans.
Unveiled as a birthday treat for Ram Charan, the title and first-look poster of PEDDI made waves online. Adding more fuel to the buzz, the makers released the much-awaited First Shot Glimpse on the occasion of Sri Rama Navami, giving audiences a thrilling sneak peek into the world of PEDDI.
The glimpse begins on a powerful note—Ram Charan’s character strides into a cricket field, bat on shoulder, beedi in mouth, exuding raw charisma. The crowd roars as he charges across sprawling fields, his energy untamed. In one fierce swing, he smashes a cricket ball into the sky, setting the tone for a story that promises grit, emotion, and power.
Charan’s transformation is nothing short of spectacular. His unkempt hair, dense beard, and distinctive nose ring showcase a man forged by the soil—fierce, fearless, and deeply connected to his roots. This isn’t just another character; PEDDI is a storm waiting to erupt.
Director Buchi Babu Sana brings his signature touch of emotional storytelling to the film, ensuring it’s not just about action—it’s about heart, heritage, and human resilience. Complementing his vision is cinematographer R. Rathnavelu, whose visuals elevate the scale of the narrative. Meanwhile, Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman scores the music, infusing each moment with intensity and soul.
Set against a powerful rural backdrop and driven by an emotionally rich plot, PEDDI is shaping up to be a cinematic feast for the masses.
The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on March 27, 2026, making it a special celebration for Ram Charan’s fans.
