Global Star Ram Charan is all set to ignite the big screen with his upcoming pan-India spectacle, PEDDI—a film that’s already generating excitement across the country following the phenomenal response to the First Shot Glimpse. Helmed by National Award-winning director Buchi Babu Sana, this ambitious project marks a colossal collaboration between top creative forces and is shaping up to be a landmark moment in Indian cinema. Presented by leading production houses Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, and produced on a massive scale by Venkata Satish Kilaru under his banner Vriddhi Cinemas, PEDDI has now begun its lengthy and crucial schedule in a gigantic village set in Hyderabad.
PEDDI embraces a raw, earthy aesthetic, and the production team has gone to great lengths to ensure an immersive cinematic experience. Production designer Avinash Kolla, along with his team, has erected a sprawling village set where the makers will shoot a high-intensity stunt sequence, along with important talkie portions.
With 30% of the shoot already completed, this new schedule will cover a significant chunk of the film.
Following the success of Uppena, director Buchi Babu Sana returns with renewed ambition, overseeing every detail with precision. Mounted on a grand scale and backed by a massive budget, PEDDI is being crafted as an epic cinematic experience.
Ram Charan has undergone a remarkable transformation for the role, sporting a rugged rural look with long hair, a thick beard, and a nose ring. Janhvi Kapoor stars as the leading lady, while Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyendu Sharma round out the powerful supporting cast.
R. Rathnavelu handles the cinematography, with Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman scoring the music. Editing is by National Award-winning technician Navin Nooli, while production design is led by Avinash Kolla.
