Key Highlights and Star Statements from the Chennai Press Meet
Ram Charan (Lead Actor)
"Coming back to Chennai always feels like coming home. Peddi has been an incredible two-and-a-half-year journey for our entire unit, and I personally dedicated 285 shooting days to realize Buchi Babu Sana’s five-year-long vision. Our absolute pillar of strength is the living legend A.R. Rahman, whose masterclass music anchors the narrative.
Sharing the screen with Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar sir was pure fire; his eyes speak a thousand emotions. Working alongside Divyendu Sharma, we brought a massive attitude to our roles. The stunning Janhvi Kapoor adds incredible grace to this world, beautifully captured by Rathnavelu master, with whom I am collaborating for the fourth time.
I had this exact gut feeling during Magadheera, Rangasthalam, and RRR that they would become massive box-office triumphs; I feel the identical energy for Peddi. It is a deeply inspiring, beautiful emotional drama packed with a powerful message. I also extend my heartfelt wishes to Tamil Nadu CM Vijay garu; as a fellow member of the film fraternity, his journey makes us immensely proud."
Shivarajkumar (Century Star)
"I must thank director Buchi Babu for designing such a towering, authoritative character like Gowrnaidu for me. My family shares a deep, long-standing bond of affection with Ram Charan and his family. Watching Charan's physical transformation and powerhouse acting on set was phenomenal. This emotional journey will strike a deep chord with audiences everywhere when it hits screens on June 4."
Insights from the Creative Masters
Music Maestro A.R. Rahman shared: "Reaching the legendary heights of Megastar Chiranjeevi garu is no ordinary feat, but Ram Charan has established his own distinct global benchmarks, inspiring the younger generation. The Telugu music space boasts phenomenal forces like Keeravani garu, Devi Sri Prasad, Thaman, and Mani Sharma, and I thoroughly enjoyed entering this inspiring ecosystem for Buchi Babu's brilliant script."
