Janhvi Kapoor’s special glimpse was released by the makers of Peddi to celebrate her birthday on Friday. Director Buchi Babu Sana, known for his raw and aesthetic visual narration in his debut film Uppena, took to social media to talk about Janhvi’s transformation for her role in the Ram Charan-starrer.

“Loved working with you and super excited for the world to see your powerful avatar as Achiyamma on screen,” he wrote. Far from the glitz and glamour usually associated with her Bollywood persona, Janhvi is set to portray a beautiful village belle in the pan-Indian release. According to Buchi Babu Sana, the character is defined by her natural grace rather than external finery. “She doesn’t need ornamentation. She is elegant the way she is,” he noted.
This earthy spirit is perfectly mirrored in the film’s music. We are talking about the chartbuster song Chikiri, which has already captured the audience’s imagination. After making a splash with her Telugu debut in Koratala Siva’s Devara: Part 1 alongside Jr NTR, she is now cementing her place in Tollywood. Peddi is scheduled to be released in theatres on April 30.
Admiration for Ram Charan
Janhvi Kapoor also shared her admiration for Ram Charan’s professionalism and dedication on the sets of Peddi. Sharing that she is having a blast on the sets of the Buchi Babu directorial, the actress stated that she is playing a different and interesting role in the film. “I think the character isn’t like any conventional heroine. Buchi Babu is a rooted director, and his earlier film Uppena is superb,” Janhvi said.
Bats against online bullying
The other day, Janhvi Kapoor spoke out against the online bullying and harassment of her half-brother, actor Arjun Kapoor. In an interview, Janhvi addressed the broader culture of social media negativity and trolling directed at celebrities.
