The highly anticipated sports action drama Peddi, starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, has created a major buzz ahead of its June release. Adding to the excitement, global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas took to social media to share her reaction to the newly released trailer, calling it “Fire!” and sending her best wishes to the entire team.
Priyanka Chopra shares a special shout-out for Team Peddi
On May 21, 2026, Priyanka shared the official trailer link of Peddi on her X (formerly Twitter) account. Capturing her excitement, she captioned the post with a single-word review: “Fire!” She further extended her congratulations to lead stars Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, actor Divyenndu, director Buchi Babu Sana, and the entire creative crew, adding, “Looking forward!”
Priyanka’s supportive gesture highlights her long-standing friendship with Ram Charan. The duo previously shared screen space in the 2013 action-thriller Zanjeer, which marked Ram Charan’s Bollywood debut, and they have maintained a warm professional bond ever since.
Ram Charan’s transformation as a multi-sport athlete
The Peddi trailer, which was grandly launched at a media event in Mumbai on May 18, 2026, showcases Ram Charan in an intense, rugged village avatar. Deviating from standard sports dramas, the film features the actor as a highly versatile crossover athlete who excels in three different disciplines: wrestling, sprinting, and cricket.
The trailer outlines a gripping narrative where his physical strength and love for sports become a means of survival. While he is deeply respected by his fellow villagers, his meteoric rise invites the envy of a ruthless local landlord, setting off high-stakes, life-or-death clashes.
An ambitious pan-Indian collaboration
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi is one of the most talked-about Indian films of the year. The high-budget project marks the first-ever on-screen pairing of Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, who portrays a village girl named Achiyamma.
The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast, featuring Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu, and Boman Irani in pivotal roles. Backed by a powerful background score composed by Oscar-winner A. R. Rahman, Peddi is scheduled to hit theatres worldwide on June 4, 2026, with special premiere shows commencing on June 3.
Fire!
Congratulations @alwaysramcharan @janhvikapoor #DivyennduSharma @BuchiBabuSana and the entire team. Looking forward! https://t.co/zJ2yeAprjr
