Global Star Ram Charan and director Buchi Babu Sana of Uppena fame are working together for the first time for a prestigious rural action drama PEDDI. The film’s tile and first look were unveiled recently on Charan’s birthday, and the response was exceptional. The posters indeed heightened the anticipation. Meanwhile, the makers revealed First Shot Glimpse on Sri Rama Navami occasion.
The First Shot kick starts with a jaw-dropping moment as PEDDI walks into a cricket ground with a bat slung over his shoulder, smoking a beedi, and receiving a raucous cheer from the crowd. His journey begins across vast fields, demonstrating his raw athleticism as he leaps through the terrain, heading toward the cricket field. With a fierce swing, PEDDI launches the ball across the horizon, marking the start of something extraordinary.
Ram Charan’s transformation into PEDDI is nothing short of iconic. His rugged appearance, complete with messy hair, a thick beard, and a nose ring, perfectly reflects his unyielding spirit. The dialogue, steeped in the authenticity of his Vizianagaram roots, resonates powerfully and strikes a chord with the audience.
Director Buchi Babu Sana’s brilliance shines through in the way he blends intensity with grounded emotion, making PEDDI more than just a character—he’s a force of nature. From the smallest movement to the grandest shot, everything is executed with flawless accuracy, revealing the brilliance of both technical and production design.
The film’s production, led by cinematographer R Rathnavelu, delivers stunning visuals that amplify its grandeur. AR Rahman’s music elevates each moment, while the rural village backdrop brings an earthy, real-world vibe. Despite the rustic setting, the production values are marvellous.
This first shot marks only the beginning of what promises to be a cinematic masterpiece. As officially announced by the makers the film releases as Ram Charan’s birthday special on March 27, 2026, and PEDDI’s journey will surely strike a chord with audiences.
With the high expectations already set, PEDDI is poised to surpass them and become a blockbuster sensation.
