Peddi Poster Reveal: Ram Charan's Intense New Look Breaks the Internet

Ram Charan dropped the first look of his upcoming 16th film, Peddi (previously named RC16), on March 27th during his 40th birthday celebration that sparked widespread online excitement. The National Award-winning filmmaker Buchi Babu Sana directs Peddi, which promises to bring a gritty rural story as fans observe Ram Charan's transformation into a fierce, earthy character in complete silence. Mythri Movie Makers released posters that present a never-before-seen Ram Charan in a way that marks the beginning of a fresh era in his acting journey.

The first poster shows Charan lighting a beedi while looking straight into the camera with intense eyes and sporting a bushy beard and unkempt hair along with a nose ring. The second image ramps up mystery by showing him holding an aged cricket bat while standing in front of a stadium that shines with floodlights against a rural background. The rugged appearance of his striped red shirt suggests his rebellion along with his fight for identity, which matches the caption: "A FIGHT FOR IDENTITY!!." Visual elements show a raw story merging intense rural conflicts with high-risk emotional moments that align with AR Rahman's musical composition.

Janhvi Kapoor plays her second Telugu role since Devara: Part 1 and joins forces with Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar and Telugu actor Jagapathi Babu alongside Mirzapur actor Divyenndu Sharma in the upcoming film Peddi. Mythri Movie Makers, together with Sukumar Writings and Vriddhi Cinemas, support the production of the film, which features the cinematographic expertise of R. Rathnavelu and editing by Navin Nooli. The March 2026 debut of the movie arises from Netflix purchasing streaming rights, although this release date was originally set for 2025.

The reception of Game Changer turned out underwhelming, so Charan's partnership with Peddi represents a fresh start. Social media users have praised his new style by declaring it a “blockbuster” transformation while describing him as “unrecognizable.” Peddi stands ready to transform Telugu film because of Buchi Babu Sana's expert storytelling combined with Charan's powerful screen presence.
