The poster features Ram Charan in a fierce avatar, sporting long, unkempt hair, a thick beard, and a striking nose ring. In one image, he is seen lighting a beedi with matchsticks, while another shows him holding a worn-out cricket bat in a village stadium illuminated by floodlights.
Fans have praised the look, calling it โintenseโ and โpowerful,โ while some have noted similarities to Allu Arjunโs Pushpa and Yashโs KGF. Charanโs transformation has been hailed as a testament to his dedication to the craft.
The film boasts a stellar cast, including Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyendu Sharma.
Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman is onboard to create the music, adding another layer of excitement to the project. The cinematography is handled by R. Rathnavelu, while Avinash Kolla oversees production design. The film is produced by Venkat Sathish Kilaru under the Vriddhi Cinemas banner, with Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings presenting it.
Fans have expressed their enthusiasm for Peddi, with many anticipating a blockbuster performance from Ram Charan after the lukewarm reception of his previous film, Game Changer.
