Ram Charan injured while shooting action sequence
A source from Ram’s team tells HT that the actor sustained an injury near his eye and needed stitches. “Ram Charan was shooting for an action episode yesterday (Tuesday) and was injured. He had to get four sutures for it,” says the source, adding, “He was injured above his eye, not his eye, like some seem to believe. His eye is fine.” The source also stated that Ram is back to work and has not taken a break. “He is back to work as it’s a minor injury and there’s nothing to worry about,” they say.
The Peddi team also asked fans not to believe rumours. They released a note on social media that read, “We'd like to address the recent chatter surrounding a minor incident on the sets of Peddi. We want to assure everyone that Ram Charan Garu is absolutely fine and doing well. He had a minor injury to the left eye on the sets, and there was a small procedure done. He will be resuming the shoot tomorrow with no disruptions to the schedule. We appreciate the concern, but there is no cause for worry. Everything is under control, and the film continues to move forward smoothly.”
Peddi is directed by Buchi Babu Sana and produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, co-produced by Ishan Saksena under IVY Entertainment, and presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings. Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu and Divyenndu also star in the sports drama. Shooting for the film was resumed in November 2024, with the title announced in March 2025. AR Rahman has composed the film’s music.
Ram Charan’s praise for Dhurandhar 2
Earlier this week, Ram watched Aditya Dhar and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge. He shared his review on X (formerly Twitter), which read, “#DhurandharTheRevenge is raw, gripping and impactful. @AdityaDharFilms brings scale and emotion together seamlessly. What he has done with this film is truly remarkable”
He also added, “@RanveerOfficial delivers a phenomenal performance - full of intensity and holds your attention throughout. @ActorMadhavan sir, @duttsanjay sir & @rampalarjun sir stand strong with solid performances. #SaraArjun is terrific in her role. @shashwatology’s music elevates the film.”
The actor summed it up with, “Kudos to @jiostudios and #JyotiDeshpande for backing this vision and delivering one of the most riveting films in Indian cinema. Congratulations to the entire team.”
For the unversed, Peddi was supposed to be released in theatres on March 27, but the release was postponed to April 30. It avoided a clash with Dhurandhar 2 as Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh initially took the March 26 release date. Later, the remake of Theri was moved up and released on March 19, the same day as Dhurandhar 2.
