Janhvi Kapoor Praises Peddi Co-Star Ram Charan!

After the massive success of “Chikiri Chikiri” and “Rai Rai Raa Raa,” Hellallallo arrives as the newest energetic track from Peddi. Featuring #RamCharan, #JanhviKapoor, and #ShrutiHaasan, the song celebrates the cinematic legacies of Chiranjeevi, Sridevi, and Kamal Haasan. Peddi is set to premiere on June 3 ahead of its worldwide theatrical release on June 4, 2026. Peddi, the biggest pan-India release of the year, continues to build massive excitement among audiences. Headlined by Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Jagapathi Babu, the film has generated strong buzz with every promotional asset. Its recently released trailer impressed viewers with Ram Charan’s striking transformation into three different athlete avatars: a cricketer, a runner, and a wrestler, showcasing his commitment to the role.

The film also brings the exciting and fresh chemistry of Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. As the film gears up for release, Janhvi Kapoor, who is sharing screen space with Ram Charan for the first time, opened up about her experience of working with the star. She praised his talent, discipline, and respectful nature, while also revealing why she fondly addresses him as “Sir.”

Recalling an incident from the shoot, shared, “On my first day of shoot in Mysore, it was a song montage cut for chikri chikri, I was very nervous because I have seen a lot of his (Ram Charan’s) work. I think I call him sir because of the plethora of work that he’s done and how much he’s moved people, how much he means to people. I think his sheer talent, discipline, and dedication to entertaining people, and to giving to his craft and artistry, I think that warrants a sir for sure. He’s very calm, composed, and very respectful, not just to elders but to everyone.”

The grand musical event for Peddi, held in Bhopal on May 23, turned into one of the biggest film concerts in recent times, bringing the entire cast and crew together under one roof. The star-studded celebration saw the presence of Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor, Ravi Kishan, Shiva Rajkumar, Divyendu Sharma, Jagapathi Babu, director Buchi Babu Sana, and music maestro A. R. Rahman, making it a landmark promotional event for the film.

In Peddi, Ram Charan essays the role of a crossover athlete, reflecting the journeys of sporting icons who explored different sports before finding success. The character draws parallels with legends like MS Dhoni, who played football before becoming one of cricket’s greatest captains, and Sachin Tendulkar, who once nurtured an interest in tennis before earning the title of the “God of Cricket.” The film presents an inspiring tale of determination, transformation, and sporting glory.

Adding to the excitement, A. R. Rahman’s music has received an overwhelming response from audiences. While Chikiri Chikiri has crossed 200 million views on YouTube, Rai Rai Raa Raa has garnered over 74 million views, further elevating anticipation for Peddi and reinforcing its status as one of India’s most eagerly awaited films.

Written and directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi features Ram Charan in the lead role alongside Shiva Rajkumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Divyendu Sharma, and Jagapathi Babu, bringing together a strong ensemble that elevates the film’s scale and impact. The film is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, in collaboration with Mythri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings, and IVY Entertainment, with co-producer Ishan Saksena.

IVY Entertainment commenced in 2020 and has cemented its position as one of the most popular production houses and acquirers of film rights in India. The company is steadily building one of India’s most extensive filmographies of premium IP and film rights while consistently empowering creative production houses to deliver exceptional movies that resonate with audiences worldwide.

The film also boasts a powerful technical team, including music by A. R. Rahman, cinematography by R. Rathnavelu, production design by Avinash Kolla, editing by Navin Nooli, and executive production by V. Y. Praveen Kumar, further strengthening its cinematic ambition and anticipation.

Peddi will be released in North India by Jio Studios following the grand success of Dhurandhar, Dhurandhar The Revenge, and Raja Shivaji. The film will have its premiere across the world on June 3, 2026, followed by its worldwide theatrical release on June 4, 2026.
