South Indian superstar Ram Charan is making headlines for his upcoming film Peddi, one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film features Janhvi Kapoor and Jagapathi Babu in key roles, with Ram Charan stepping into the powerful role of a wrestler.
8 Months of Rigorous Training
To convincingly portray a wrestler, Ram Charan underwent nearly eight months of continuous training. According to director Buchi Babu Sana, the actor worked tirelessly to build a strong, authentic physique suited to the character of Peddi.
His training reportedly included traditional strength routines, including workouts with a mace (gada)—a tool often associated with wrestlers—highlighting the film’s rooted and cultural approach to the character.
Strict Lifestyle and Discipline
Beyond physical training, Ram Charan followed a disciplined lifestyle throughout his transformation. He observed the Ayyappa Deeksha, a spiritual practice that demands strict routines and self-control.
As part of this, the actor also completely avoided non-vegetarian food, maintaining a clean and controlled diet to support both his physical and mental conditioning.
Music Already Creating Buzz
Even before its release, Peddi has generated massive attention. Two songs from the film have already struck a chord with audiences:
- Chikri Chikiri has crossed 200 million views
- Rai Rai Ra Ra has garnered over 47 million views
The film’s music is composed by AR Rahman, adding to its high expectations.
Release Date and Cast
Peddi is slated for a theatrical release on April 30, featuring a strong ensemble cast including Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor, Jagapathi Babu and Divyendu Sharma.
Conclusion
Ram Charan’s transformation for Peddi reflects not just physical effort but deep discipline and commitment. From months of intense training to strict dietary control, the actor has gone all out to bring authenticity to his role—raising anticipation even higher for the film’s release.
