Ram Charan makes a thunderous return to the big screen with the first-look teaser of Peddi, the upcoming thriller directed by Buchi Babu Sana. Dropped by Vriddhi Cinemas on Sunday, the one-minute-four-second teaser has already ignited fan frenzy, showcasing Charan in a fierce new avatar. Slated for a theatrical release on March 27, 2026 — coinciding with the actor’s birthday — Peddi promises to deliver a potent mix of action, grit, and emotion.
The teaser opens with Charan’s character walking into a cricket ground with an aura of raw, unfiltered masculinity. A cigarette dangles from his lips, a bat slung over his shoulder, as he strides forward with an unrelenting gaze. Sporting a rugged look with a bushy beard, unkempt hair, and a septum ring, Charan sets the tone for what appears to be a high-octane story grounded in rebellion and resilience. Set to a pulsating score, the teaser captures the essence of a man driven by purpose as he races across a dusty terrain, met by a roaring crowd. The final shot — Charan hitting a ball out of the park with electrifying energy — serves as a powerful metaphor for a storm that’s about to be unleashed.
Earlier, the makers had unveiled a striking first-look poster on Charan’s 40th birthday, generating massive buzz across social media. Sharing the poster, director Buchi Babu Sana wrote on Instagram, “Happy Birthday my Dear @AlwaysRamCharan Sir… In one word you are Gold Sir. Tqq for everything Sir.”
Peddi brings together an impressive ensemble cast including Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyendu Sharma. The film is being presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, marking a collaboration that fans are keenly watching.
Adding to the excitement is the musical genius of A. R. Rahman, who has composed the background score, with acclaimed cinematographer R. Rathnavelu behind the lens and Navin Nooli as the editor. The creative team promises a visual and auditory treat that matches the intensity of the storyline.
With its gripping visuals, powerful score, and a towering performance by Ram Charan, Peddi is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2026. Fans will be counting the days until March 27, when this high-octane thriller storms into theatres.
