Fans of Ram Charan breathed a sigh of relief after director Buchi Babu Sana shared an update regarding his upcoming film, Peddi. The pan-Indian project has finally entered its final filming phase. This last leg is a brief six-day schedule dedicated to shooting a foot-tapping special song. While the inclusion of a popular actress for this musical number is a foregone conclusion, her identity remains a secret for now.
The announcement was accompanied by a new photograph featuring the director alongside Ram Charan. This image is noteworthy as it marks the actor’s second appearance since late March 2026. Charan recently underwent a minor medical procedure for an eyelid injury sustained during an intense action sequence.
The film was supposed to be released on April 30 but has since been pushed to June. Many industry insiders suggest that slow-paced VFX work or other complex post-production requirements caused this delay. Now that the final song is being filmed, it is possible that the release date will be made official in the first half of May.
Peddi features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead. Academy Award winner AR Rahman is composing the soundtrack, marking a first for a Ram Charan film. Promotional material has already set expectations high across social media. A recently released teaser image showcased Ram Charan in an incredibly bulky, rugged avatar. This physical transformation for the part of a wrestler (though he plays a cricketer otherwise) surprised fans and hinted at a gritty, raw performance. The actor was last seen in Game Changer, a Sankranthi 2025 release.
Meanwhile, rumour mills continue to speculate about the actress who will be dancing alongside Ram Charan in the ‘special song’. While Mrunal Thakur’s name has been mentioned prominently, it has also been suggested this week that Shruti Haasan is on board. She is expected to join the sets very soon.
