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.

Janhvi decided to use her platform to change that. The result is ‘Off the Rocks’ a structured, community-driven awareness initiative designed to shift the public conversation around alcohol addiction from silence and judgment to clinical understanding, self-awareness, and access to care.

“The conversation around alcohol is either completely absent or deeply judgmental — and neither serves the people who actually need support. Alcohol addiction is real, it’s clinical, and it affects people across every walk of life. Off the Rocks is about making it easier to acknowledge that, and to know that help exists,” said Janhvi Kapoor

As the initiative took shape, it became clear that personal conviction alone wasn’t enough, the conversation needed clinical credibility and professional infrastructure behind it. Janhvi sought a partner with the depth, rigour, and reach to ensure that ‘Off the Rocks’ didn’t just raise awareness, but meaningfully connected people to the right care. That partner is #Amaha.

Amaha is India’s leading full-spectrum mental health organisation, built on the belief that mental health care must be evidence-based, person-centered and accessible. With a clinical team of over 200 mental health professionals and more than 6,000,000 individuals served globally, Amaha operates at a scale that few mental health organisations in the country can match. Within this ecosystem, Amaha runs dedicated, evidence-based programmes for individuals with moderate to severe mental illnesses including those navigating alcohol addiction, combining psychiatric assessment, psychological intervention, and long-term recovery support. It is this combination of clinical breadth and specific expertise that made Amaha the natural home for ‘Off the Rocks’

“Addiction sits at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, and it remains one of the most stigmatised and under-treated conditions we see. At Amaha, we approach it with the same clinical depth and compassion as every other mental health condition. “Off the Rocks’ gives this condition the visibility it deserves, and we’re here to make sure that visibility connects to credible, evidence-backed clinical information and trust-worthy professional support” Dr. Amit Malik, Founder & CEO, Amaha

‘Off the Rocks’ will unfold as an ongoing, multi-format initiative anchored in Janhvi Kapoor’s voice and backed by Amaha’s clinical expertise. It will bring together expert-led conversations, personal stories, accessible explainers, and professional resources, all designed to do three things: build public understanding of alcohol addiction as a clinical condition, reduce the shame that prevents people from seeking help, and create clear pathways to evidence-based care.

The initiative is designed to be ongoing: not a single campaign, but a sustained effort to shift how alcohol use disorder is understood and spoken about in India. Every piece of content will be reviewed by Amaha’s team, ensuring accuracy, responsibility, and a consistent standard of care in how the subject is handled.

#VidyaBalan : One of the earliest and most influential figures in this shift has been Vidya Balan. With films like Kahaani, The Dirty Picture and Tumhari Sulu, she redefined what it meant to be a female protagonist in mainstream Hindi cinema. Her characters were unapologetically confident, layered and real, proving that audiences were ready to embrace women-led stories that stood strong on their own.

#AliaBhatt : Actors like Alia Bhatt have taken this legacy forward with remarkable versatility. Her performances in films like Raazi and Gangubai Kathiawadi showcased emotional depth and intensity, while also demonstrating that actresses today can lead large-scale narratives without being confined to conventional roles.

#DeepikaPadukone : Similarly, Deepika Padukone has balanced mainstream success with powerful storytelling. Whether it was the warmth and relatability of Piku or the emotional gravitas of Chhapaak, her performances have often highlighted women who are both vulnerable and strong in equal measure.

#JanhviKapoor : The younger generation is also contributing to this evolving cinematic landscape. Janhvi Kapoor has been steadily building a filmography that explores courage and resilience through films such as Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Mili and Good Luck Jerry, portraying women navigating extraordinary circumstances.

#TaapseePannu : Meanwhile, Taapsee Pannu has emerged as one of the most consistent voices for socially driven cinema. Films like Pink, Thappad and Rashmi Rocket have addressed issues of gender equality, personal agency and justice, turning her performances into conversations that extend far beyond the screen.

#KanganaRanaut : And then there is Kangana Ranaut, whose performance in Queen became a defining moment in modern Hindi cinema. The film resonated deeply with audiences and cemented her reputation for portraying women who are fearless, independent and unapologetically themselves. Her work in films like Tanu Weds Manu and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi further reinforced that image.

#KritiSanon : Actors like Kriti Sanon have also stepped into powerful narratives, choosing roles that place women at the heart of the story. In Mimi, she delivered one of the most acclaimed performances of her career, portraying a young woman navigating the emotional and societal complexities of surrogacy with remarkable sincerity.

#NushrrattBharuccha : Actors like Nushrratt Bharuccha have also embraced narratives that place women at the center of intense and courageous journeys. In films like Akelli and the horror drama Chhorii — along with its sequel Chhorii 2 — she portrays women confronting fear, injustice and survival against overwhelming odds. These stories highlight resilience and determination, reinforcing the growing space for powerful female protagonists who drive the narrative with strength and conviction.

#SanyaMalhotra : Another actor contributing significantly to this movement is Sanya Malhotra. With her performance in Mrs, she continues to explore layered characters that challenge societal expectations and highlight the inner strength of everyday women.

Together, these actresses represent a powerful shift in Indian cinema — one where women are no longer written as mere complements to the hero but as individuals with their own journeys, struggles and triumphs.

As audiences continue to embrace these stories, the role of actresses in shaping the future of Indian cinema becomes even more significant. On International Women’s Day, their performances stand as a reminder that when women lead the narrative, cinema becomes richer, more authentic and far more reflective of the world we live in.
