Buchi Babu’s Master Plan for Peddi Wins Fans Over

By TeluguFunda / May 15, 2026

With just 20 days left for its grand release, excitement around Peddi is reaching new heights every day. Starring Ram Charan in the lead role, the rustic sports drama directed by Buchi Babu Sana has become one of the hottest topics on social media.

After the massive success of Rangasthalam, fans are eager to see Ram Charan return to a village-based backdrop once again. While the film’s post-production work is progressing rapidly, reports suggest that the makers are also planning aggressive promotions on a massive scale.

The film’s technical team itself has become a major talking point. Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman is composing the music, while National Award-winning editor Naveen Nooli is handling the editing responsibilities. Cinematographer R. Rathnavelu and production designer Avinash Kolla are also expected to deliver stunning visual quality for the film.

Produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the Vriddhi Cinemas banner, the movie is being presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings.

However, the biggest discussion online right now revolves around the powerful character “Gournayudu.” Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar plays the role, and the recently released glimpse featuring him received a phenomenal response. His intense appearance in a wrestling arena instantly raised expectations for the film.

Fans believe Buchi Babu showed remarkable clarity in casting the role, especially after seeing Shiva Rajkumar’s commanding screen presence. Many are convinced that Gournayudu will be one of the most crucial characters in the story, and scenes featuring Ram Charan and Shiva Rajkumar together are already being seen as a major highlight.

Interestingly, reports suggest that the makers initially considered Kannada star Upendra and Tamil star Vikram for the role. However, due to their busy schedules, the team eventually approached Shiva Rajkumar, who reportedly agreed immediately after hearing the story and character details.

The overwhelming response to the glimpse has now convinced fans that the makers made the perfect casting choice. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, while Jagapathi Babu plays another important role.

Blending a village backdrop with sports emotions and mass-action elements, Peddi has already grabbed attention across the pan-India market. With Buchi Babu carefully crafting every aspect of the project and bringing in powerful performers like Shiva Rajkumar, expectations are skyrocketing.

If the upcoming trailer manages to strike the right chord with audiences, industry insiders believe Peddi could emerge as a massive box-office blockbuster.
