Ram Charan marked his 40th birthday today (March 27) with a special surprise for his fans—the first look posters of his much-anticipated film Peddi (RC16). Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi is a pan-Indian project that promises a gripping narrative. The film stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, alongside an ensemble cast featuring Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyendu Sharma.
The first-look posters have taken social media by storm. In one image, Ram Charan appears unrecognizable with long hair, an untamed beard, and an intense gaze as he lights a cigar, exuding unmatched swag. The second poster showcases him holding a worn-out cricket bat while standing in a village stadium illuminated by floodlights, hinting at a fierce and powerful storyline. Sharing the posters, Ram Charan wrote, “A fight for identity. RC16 is Peddi. A Buchi Babu Sana film. An AR Rahman musical.”
The reveal sparked an outpouring of excitement from fans and fellow actors alike. Ram Charan’s cousin, actor Varun Tej Konidela, dropped multiple fire emojis in response to the intense posters. Fans flooded the comments section with birthday wishes and anticipation for the film, with one user declaring, “All records will be broken,” while another simply stated, “Boss on fire.”
Earlier, on Janhvi Kapoor’s 28th birthday (March 6), the makers had unveiled her first-look poster from Peddi. In the image, Janhvi is seen smiling while holding a baby goat in her arms, exuding warmth and charm. Sharing the poster, director Buchi Babu Sana wished the actress and expressed his excitement for her role, saying, “Loved working with you and I can’t wait for everyone to see your terrific character on screen.”
Presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, Peddi is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the banner of Vriddhi Cinemas. With Ram Charan’s electrifying transformation, an intriguing storyline, and AR Rahman’s musical genius, Peddi has already set high expectations among moviegoers.
