Overview
- Ram Charan has said he underwent multiple extreme body changes for Peddi — shifting between a lean cricketer build and bulky kabaddi/wrestler physiques — and that pain from the shoot has continued after filming.
- In promotional interviews published May 21–22 the actor described tremors and a hand injury severe enough that he said he cannot easily lift his daughter and plans to get an X‑ray.
- The Peddi trailer has generated strong buzz and high‑profile praise, including a public endorsement from Priyanka Chopra and wide online engagement for A.R. Rahman’s music.
- Makers have doubled down on marketing with a large musical fan event called #PEDDIKiAawaz in Bhopal on May 23 featuring a live A.R. Rahman performance and a new song launch.
- The film, directed by Buchi Babu Sana and co‑produced by Vriddhi Cinemas, Mythri Movie Makers and partners, will premiere June 3 and open in cinemas worldwide on June 4 with reported strong advance bookings abroad.
