'Mirzapur' star Divyenndu Sharma is set to make his Telugu cinema debut in the upcoming sports action drama 'Peddi', starring alongside Ram Charan. The actor will portray the menacing character of Rambujji and recently expressed his excitement about joining the project.
Divyenndu Fell in Love with Filmmaking Again
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Divyenndu shared that working on 'Peddi' reignited his passion for filmmaking. 'I am extremely excited for 'Peddi'. Going to Telugu cinema gave me such a fresh feeling because I was the new kid again, trying to comprehend a new language and culture. I fell in love with filmmaking all over again. I am even speaking Telugu in the film! It wasn't easy; I had to mug up big lines,' he said.
Discussing the differences he noticed on set, Divyenndu added, 'It is a period film with a specific dialect, and Telugu doesn't have many pauses; it is quite breathless. I joked with them that we need to introduce some pauses! But I cracked it by giving the character a high-status lineage, which dictated a certain way of speaking.'
Behind the Scenes of Divyenndu as Rambujji
Recently, the makers shared behind-the-scenes footage of Divyenndu as Rambujji, primarily featuring him in cricketing sequences. The clip shows Ram Charan and Divyenndu watching a shot on the monitor and discussing it, with director Buchi Babu Sana explaining Divyenndu's scenes.
The trailer of the film was released earlier, and a special song titled 'Hellallallo', featuring a cameo by Shruti Haasan, was unveiled. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor alongside Ram Charan.
