As reported by News18, Ram Charan took all possible steps to ensure that his expected portrayal of Peddi would be a forceful presence on screen. Director Buchi Basu Sana shared how the actor spoke about it, “He worked very hard, training every day for about eight months to achieve the physique he envisioned for a wrestler. That level of discipline extended beyond training – following Ayyappa initiation, staying away from non-vegetarian food,”
As seen earlier in the posters and glimpses of the film, the actor will be using a mace-like object while becoming a wrestler. Revealing how important it is for training on-screen and off-screen, he said, “Every wrestler uses a mugdar for training. In Peddi, his character shares a strong bond with the mace, which he uses as part of his workout.” and added, “He trained extensively with it, and the fight scenes included elements such as clay and traditional wrestling setups.”
Starring Ram Charan along with Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu and Divyendu, Peddi is produced by Venkat Sathish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas and co-produced by Ishaan Saxena under IVY Entertainment. The Telugu-language sports action drama is a creation of Mythri Movie Makers in association with Sukumar Writings, and will be available in theaters from April 30.
