Ram Charan's Emotional Speech
He said, "This movie has been embedded in every cell of us; we've been living this, breathing this for the last two years. Buchi has been living and breathing this for the last five years. I want to thank Buchi Babu for one reason: for convincing AR Rahman to compose for this film." Fans at the event kept cheering loudly while Ram was speaking.
Ram Charan Talks About His Injury
During the event, many fans asked Ram Charan about his injured hand. The actor smiled and told everyone that he was doing fine now. He said, "Cheyya bane undi (My hand is better now). This is a small gift that Buchi has given me." Ram Charan suffered several injuries while shooting for the film. Even after getting hurt, he continued shooting and completed his work without taking a break.
The Wrestling Scene Led to an Injury
Ram Charan also explained how he got injured during the shoot. He said the team was filming wrestling scenes for nearly one month. The actor shared, "During the last 25-30 days of shoot, we were doing a kushti pehelwan (wrestling) shoot. I've asked him to get trained artistes, but he's gotten real pehelwans. Jab action kehte hain to zordaar pakadte hain." Because of the intense action scenes, Ram Charan suffered a cartilage tear. He also got an eye injury that needed four sutures.
Ram Charan Says the Pain Was Worth It
Even after facing injuries, Ram Charan did not complain. He said the experience became a special memory for him. He added, "And that's what happened...so I have a cartilage tear. But it's fine, it's worth it. It's a beautiful memory of Peddi." In the film, 'Peddi', Ram Charan can be seen in two distinguished avatars, where he is seen as a cricketer and also as a huge and muscular wrestler. The trailer also shows him participating in a running competition, as he is more like a crossover athlete.
The film also features Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu, and Boman Irani in key roles.
