EXCLUSIVE: Ram Charan Calls The One-Rupee Cricket Auction Scene in Peddi One of His Most Interesting
Ram Charan is gearing up for the World Television Premiere of his sports-action drama Peddi on Sony MAX on October 24 at 8 PM. Ahead of the premiere, the actor opened up about some of the film’s most memorable moments, including a cricket auction sequence, intense wrestling scenes and an emotional turning point in his character’s journey.
In an exclusive conversation with Filmfare, Ram Charan recalled the sequence, and shared, “There are quite a few scenes in the film. I can’t say just one or two scenes. There are many scenes related to cricket and there are many wrestling scenes as well. One of the most interesting scenes for me was the cricket auction scene, where the hero is auctioned off for just one rupee to play. The way the drama unfolds around him and how he gets recognition was very interesting to me. The wrestling scenes were very intense too. After losing everything when he goes to his guru and pleads with him, requesting him to train him, those scenes were very nice.”
Talking about the experience, he said, “It was challenging but not difficult. By then all the actors including myself were so immersed in the film. Our director had spent many days thinking through and planning the shoot, but we finished shooting the entire scene in just one day, within just eight hours. That was possible because everybody was so cooperative. It is one of the scenes closest to my heart.”
Starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, Peddi is set in a remote Andhra Pradesh village in 1990. The story revolves around a talented sportsman who earns the admiration of his community through his sporting abilities. However, when his village faces difficult circumstances, he finds himself fighting for something far greater than personal success.
Peddi will have its World Television Premiere on Sony MAX on October 24 at 8 PM.
