Janhvi Kapoor is all set to share screen space with Ram Charan in the upcoming film Peddi, and she’s already gushing about her mega-star co-star. The actress recently opened up about her first day on set, revealing just how nervous she was—and why she insists on calling him ‘sir’.
First Day Nerves and a Formal Address
Recalling her initial schedule in Mysore, Janhvi admitted she was quite nervous because she’s seen so much of Ram Charan’s work. The first scene they shot together was a song montage cut for ‘Chikri Chikri’, and the pressure was real. But instead of getting casual, she chose to address him with a formal title. According to the actress, it’s all about respect. She explained that the sheer talent, discipline, and dedication Ram Charan brings to his craft—and how much he means to his fans—warrants that ‘sir’. For her, it’s not just a formality; it’s a genuine acknowledgment of his body of work and the way he has moved audiences over the years. And trust us, when Janhvi says it, you can feel the sincerity.
Ram Charan’s Calm Demeanour Wins Janhvi Over
But it’s not just his stardom that impressed Janhvi. She also praised his personality off-screen, describing him as ‘very calm, composed, and very respectful’—not just to elders but to everyone on set. That’s a quality that clearly stood out to her during the shoot. In an industry where egos often run high, having a co-star who is both grounded and gracious makes all the difference. Janhvi’s words suggest that the chemistry between the two is built on mutual admiration, and fans are already excited to see that translate on screen when Peddi hits theatres.
