With just hours left for the worldwide release of Peddi on June 4, anticipation for the Ram Charan-starrer continues to soar. The film has already generated strong buzz among fans, and now a series of comments made by Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman have become a major talking point on social media.
Rahman, who has composed the music for Peddi, recently participated in a special promotional interview alongside director Buchi Babu Sana. During the conversation, he spoke extensively about Ram Charan’s performance in the film and revealed an interesting detail.
Praising Ram Charan’s acting, Rahman said he was genuinely surprised by the way the actor handled some of the film’s emotionally demanding scenes. He said that while watching those sequences, he wondered how Charan was able to experience and express such intense emotions so convincingly.
What particularly grabbed attention was Rahman’s mention of a kissing scene in the film. He revealed that Charan performed the entire sequence very naturally and appeared completely immersed in the character. AR Rahman said that after watching the scene, he felt the actor had fully lived the role rather than merely performing it.
The comments quickly went viral online, with fans believing that an international icon like AR Rahman highlighting a kissing scene has increased curiosity about the film.
However, a section of fans feels Rahman may have unintentionally spoiled a potentially memorable theatrical moment. Ram Charan has rarely done an explicit kissing scene in his career, making it something many audiences would not have expected. For such viewers, discovering the scene unexpectedly on the big screen could have delivered a stronger surprise and created a fresher experience.
Some fans argue that the revelation has taken away part of that excitement. Since audiences now know about the scene beforehand, they feel one of the film’s surprise elements has already been exposed before release.
Also, by praising Charan’s performance so highly, Rahman may have unintentionally raised expectations to an extremely high level. If the kissing sequence ultimately does not feel as impactful as fans are now imagining, it could end up becoming a disappointment rather than a highlight.
“Some of the scenes were like, ‘How is he gonna do this? How is he gonna feel it?’ But he did it very naturally.
Even that KISSING scene.. So I felt like he really lived in that character.”#RamCharan #Peddi #JanhviKapoor pic.twitter.com/2KFVmQGcxe
