Two of Ram Charan's films, Rangasthalam and RRR, changed the trajectory of his career. Sukumar and SS Rajamouli's films proved that he was a performer and not just a star. And now, the actor has made big claims about his upcoming film Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, that have gotten fans excited.

In May this year, Ram Charan was in London, UK, for the unveiling of his Madame Tussauds wax statue. The same day, he attended a fan meet after the unveiling, and a video of his speech has now surfaced on social media. In the video, Ram calls Peddi the most ‘exciting’ project he’s done, claiming that it’s better than Rangasthalam and RRR. He said, “I hope everyone liked the Peddi glimpse. I think it’s one of the most riveting scripts I’ve done. Probably, it’s more exciting than Rangasthalam and RRR. I don’t say this for every film I do. So, you note this down today.”

About Peddi

The first glimpse of Peddi was released in April this year. The glimpse shows Ram stepping onto dusty ground as people cheer for him. He smokes a beedi and talks about how he has only one life to live and wants to make the most of it. “Edaina ee nela mida unnapude seseyala (I must do whatever I want as long as I'm alive),” he says. It doesn't reveal much, but it ends with Ram playing cricket and hitting it out of the park.

Ram has also said yes to a film by Sukumar, their second after Rangasthalam. It has yet to go on floors.
