The trailer of Peddi, starring Ram Charan, has finally been released after a long wait and has quickly caught the attention of fans. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film is backed by Mythri Movie Makers and Vriddhi Cinemas. The three minute trailer presents a mix of sports, action, emotion and rural drama while introducing viewers to the world of Peddi.
In the film, Ram Charan plays a rare crossover athlete who competes in cricket, wrestling and running. Set in Vijayanagaram in Andhra Pradesh, the story follows Peddi, a talented sportsman who becomes well known in his district because of his success in different competitions. The trailer shows him using sports as a way to improve his life and earn respect. However, his journey is filled with challenges, social barriers and personal struggles that stand in the way of his goals.
The trailer also introduces Peddi’s love story with Achiyyamma, played by Janhvi Kapoor. Other important characters include Rambujji, played by Divyendu, who appears to be Peddi’s rival in the town. Jagapathi Babu plays Peddi’s grandfather Appalasoori, while Shiva Rajkumar appears as wrestling coach Gourinaidu.
One of the main highlights of the trailer is Ram Charan’s physical transformation and performance. His rugged appearance, body language and intense sporting scenes suggest that the actor has put significant effort into the role. The film also appears to focus on themes like ambition, inequality, community pride and survival in a rural setting.
The visuals by cinematographer Ratnavelu capture the raw atmosphere of village life and sports competitions. Music by A. R. Rahman adds emotional depth to the trailer, especially during the dramatic moments.
Peddi was officially launched in March 2024 and completed shooting in April 2026. During the final schedule, Ram Charan reportedly suffered an injury above his eye. A source had confirmed to HT, “He was injured above his eye, not his eye, like some seem to believe. His eye is fine. He had to get four sutures for it.” Despite the injury, the actor continued shooting.
The film was postponed multiple times before its release date was finally locked for June 4. After the underperformance of Game Changer, attention is now focused on whether Peddi can help Ram Charan make a strong comeback at the box office.
