Janhvi on Ram Charan’s commanding presence
Janhvi Kapoor is all set to share screen space with Ram Charan in the upcoming Telugu sports drama Peddi, and she can’t stop gushing about the ‘RRR’ star. During a recent interaction with a Telugu portal, the actress revealed what makes Ram Charan truly special as a star. She explained that he has an innate ability to walk into a room without uttering a word yet still make his presence felt — and that, she believes, is the hallmark of genuine stardom.
“He can be as simple and humble as he is, but you still feel his presence,” Janhvi noted, adding that this quality speaks volumes about his star power. The actress seems thoroughly impressed by her co-star’s grounded nature despite his megastar status. For those who’ve seen the Peddi trailer, Ram Charan’s intensity is already winning hearts, and Janhvi’s words only add to the buzz.
The Peddi trailer: Ram’s many avatars
The trailer of Peddi has taken the internet by storm, thanks to Ram Charan’s striking transformations. From a lean cricketer to a bulky wrestler and even a professional sprinter, the actor showcases multiple looks that hint at a powerful sports narrative. The trailer suggests that sports becomes a tool for the protagonist to fight for the oppressed, adding a social layer to the high-octane drama.
Fans are particularly excited about the distinct physical changes Ram Charan underwent for the role. The film, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, also boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Janhvi Kapoor, Boman Irani, Shiva Rajkumar, Divyendu Sharma, and Jagapathi Babu. With music by the legendary AR Rahman, the film promises an emotional and adrenaline-packed ride.
Release date and what to expect
Peddi is scheduled to have premiere shows across the globe on June 3, 2026, followed by a wide theatrical release on June 4, 2026. This marks Janhvi Kapoor’s second Telugu film after her debut in Devara opposite Jr NTR, which released to mixed box office numbers despite initial hype. With Peddi, the actress is hoping to replicate the magic of her earlier South Indian outings while working with one of the industry’s biggest stars.
Given Ram Charan’s massive fan following and the intriguing sports premise, Peddi is already generating solid anticipation. Janhvi’s heartfelt praise for her co-star only adds to the excitement, proving that the on-screen chemistry might be just as compelling as their off-screen rapport.
