Ram Charan’s latest sports drama Peddi has transformed from a massive commercial blockbusters into a deeply personal milestone for the Mega family.
Following the film’s spectacular run, which has effortlessly breached the ₹366 crore gross milestone globally, Vriddhi Cinemas released an exclusive video interaction featuring Megastar Chiranjeevi alongside director Buchi Babu Sana and the production team.
During the conversation, Chiranjeevi drew a striking parallel between Peddi and Aamir Khan’s legendary sports drama Dangal in terms of its deep emotional resonance.
However, he noted that Peddi holds a unique edge because of its highly intense, soil-rooted 1980s rural setting. The Megastar confessed that watching such powerhouse, content-driven sports dramas always brought out his own artistic vulnerability, making him wish a script with that level of raw physical and emotional grit had come his way during his prime.
The most emotional part of the interview was when Chiranjeevi shared how the public reacted to the movie. With audiences highly praising Ram Charan’s physical transformation and his mastery of the Vizianagaram dialect, the veteran star made a candid admission that quickly went viral:
“Everywhere I go, people are telling me that Ram Charan has completely surpassed Chiranjeevi with his performance in Peddi. As a proud father, it gives me boundless joy and immense pride to hear that. But as a fellow actor who has spent decades on screen… it is just a little bit difficult to accept!”
This candid statement highlights the scale of Ram Charan’s work. By earning this kind of praise from Chiranjeevi himself, Peddi marks a major milestone in Ram Charan’s career.
