With every new piece of content, Peddi is becoming one of the most anticipated films. After seeing Ram Charan as a village cricket player in the announcement video and later in the Chikiri Chikiri song, he now transitions into wrestling, making it fair to call this one of the best transformations in the industry.
Ram Charan as Peddi Pehelwan
Peddi has emerged as one of the most anticipated films of 2026, headlined by global star Ram Charan. The film also features Janhvi Kapoor and Jagapathi Babu in pivotal roles. Ever since its announcement, the project has generated significant buzz among fans and within the industry. Now, on the lead actor`s birthday, the makers have released exciting new content, Peddi Pehelwan, showcasing Ram Charan’s transition from cricket to wrestling—and it’s easily one of the finest in recent times.
Team Peddi continues to impress with back-to-back engaging content drops. While we’ve seen Ram Charan in his cricket avatar, his transition into wrestling is absolutely striking. Wrestling has always been a deeply rooted sport, and the way it is portrayed in Peddi Pehelwan, while maintaining authenticity, is truly commendable.
