Ram Charan’s Bold Prediction
Ram Charan is putting his full weight behind director Buchi Babu Sana ahead of their upcoming film Peddi. The actor, known for his blockbuster hits, went all out in praising the filmmaker, calling him a future superstar among directors. According to sources close to the production, Ram Charan believes Sana has leveled up big time with Peddi and is destined for greatness.
“Buchi Babu Sana has scaled up Peddi so well. Mark my words, he will be among the top four directors in the next few years,” Ram Charan reportedly said during a recent interaction. The actor also shared a light moment, joking about Sana’s build versus Janhvi Kapoor’s strength — “He weighs just 55-60 kgs, and Janhvi can literally crush him with her hands (laughs).” But he quickly added that Sana has the brain of an elephant and is one of the most blessed Saraswati Putras in the industry.
Peddi: A Grand Scale Production
Peddi is shaping up to be a massive cinematic event. Written and directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film features Ram Charan in multiple avatars — from a village cricketer to the titular Peddi Pehlwan. The actor’s dramatic transformation has already created buzz through promotional material. Janhvi Kapoor plays the female lead, marking her second Telugu film after Devara. The supporting cast includes heavyweights like Shiva Rajkumar, Divyendu Sharma, and Jagapathi Babu.
The music is composed by none other than A. R. Rahman, and the songs have been doing rounds online. Tracks like ‘Chikiri Chikiri’ and ‘Rai Rai Raa Raa’ have racked up millions of views, adding to the film’s growing hype. The production is backed by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, in association with Mythri Movie Makers and IVY Entertainment. For North India, Jio Studios will handle distribution.
Release Date and Star Cast
Mark your calendars: Peddi will have a special premiere on June 3, 2026, followed by a worldwide theatrical release on June 4, 2026. The film is expected to be a pan-India release, given the star power involved. Ram Charan has already urged audiences to watch the film with their children, promising it won’t disappoint.
With a director who delivered a ₹100 crore debut and a National Award with Uppena, expectations are sky-high. Ram Charan’s confidence in Sana only adds to the excitement. As the actor put it, Buchi Babu Sana is a man with an elephant-sized brain and a vision that’s bound to place him among the elite directors of Indian cinema. Fans can’t wait to see what this duo cooks up.
