Ram Charan Extends Warm Birthday Greetings to Cinematographer R. Rathnavelu
Telugu superstar Ram Charan took to social media on Tuesday to wish ace cinematographer R. Rathnavelu a happy birthday. The 'RRR' actor shared a heartfelt message, expressing his admiration for Rathnavelu's contributions to their upcoming film, 'Peddi'.
Social Media Tributes from Ram Charan and Film Makers
Ram Charan posted on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, writing, "Happy Birthday, @RathnaveluDop Garu. Always a privilege sharing the set with you. Your vision brings magic to every frame. Wishing you a fantastic year ahead." This public acknowledgment highlights the strong professional bond between the actor and the cinematographer.
In a coordinated move, the makers of 'Peddi' also shared a special birthday wish from the film's official social media account. Their post read, "Frames blazing with fire. From the sets of #PEDDI @AlwaysRamCharan × @RathnaveluDop. A MEGA POWER BLAST is loading soon." This message not only celebrated Rathnavelu but also teased fans with excitement for the film's impending release.
Recent Production Updates and Delhi Schedule Completion
Last December, the 'Peddi' team successfully wrapped up the Delhi schedule of the film. Rathnavelu himself shared pictures from the sets on Instagram, captioning them, "Delhi schedule wrapped in style! Immersive, poetic visuals. Ram Charan bro at his incredible best!" This update provided a glimpse into the smooth production process and heightened fan anticipation.
Star-Studded Cast and Technical Excellence
'Peddi' features a powerhouse ensemble cast, including:
- Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles
- Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyendu Sharma, and Boman Irani in key supporting roles
Recently, it was revealed that Jagapathi Babu portrays a character named Appalasoori. The film boasts an exceptional technical team, with music composed by the legendary AR Rahman and editing handled by National Award-winning editor Navin Nooli.
Release Date Shift and Future Plans
Originally scheduled for a March 27, 2026 release to coincide with Ram Charan's birthday, the film's launch has been postponed. A few days ago, the makers announced a new release date of April 30, 2026. Sharing a new poster, they emphasized, "The date of his arrival changes, but not his MIGHTY GRIT. #PEDDI WORLDWIDE RELEASE ON 30th APRIL, 2026." This adjustment indicates strategic planning to maximize the film's impact upon its global debut.
