Naman Ramachandran Ram Charan, star of the Oscar and Golden Globe-winning “RRR,” has unveiled the first look of his 16th film, which is titled “Peddi.” The pan-India project represents a collaboration between Mythri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings, and producer Venkata Satish Kilaru’s Vriddhi Cinemas banner.

The film has been described as one that will take audiences on a “rural, emotional and rustic journey.” It will be directed by Buchi Babu Sana, who won the best Telugu-language film award at India’s National Film Awards for his debut “Uppena” (2021).

Sana previously served as a writer and assistant director to “Pushpa” filmmaker Sukumar on hit film “Rangasthalam” (2018). Following a pre-look teaser, the production team marked Ram Charan’s birthday with the official title reveal.

The name “Peddi” reportedly signifies the protagonist’s character in the film. The first-look poster shows Ram Charan in a transformation from his usual appearance.
