About Peddi
Peddi is written and directed by Buchi Babu Sana. It is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, co-produced by Ishan Saksena under IVY Entertainment, and presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings. It stars Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu and Boman Irani. AR Rahman composed the music.
Peddi tells the story of the titular character, played by Ram, who hails from a marginalised community. The village he stays in lacks basic amenities, including a railway station, a hospital, schools, or a name. When he finds a way to make his and his people’s voices heard through sport, he decides to grab the opportunity.
While the film was praised for its story, it was also slammed for the way the female lead, played by Janhvi, was portrayed. Buchi has apologised following the backlash and stated that he is removing the objectionable scenes. Peddi has grossed over ₹233 crore worldwide in its opening weekend. It remains to be seen if the film sustains momentum through the week.
