Ram Charan probably did not expect his Peddi promotional event in Bhopal to turn into meme material overnight, but social media had other plans. The actor attended the grand audio launch of his upcoming Telugu sports drama alongside Janhvi Kapoor and music legend A. R. Rahman, and while the event itself generated excitement around the film, two accidental goof-ups from Ram Charan quickly stole the spotlight online.
During his interaction with the crowd, the actor accidentally referred to Bhopal as Bihar while speaking in Hindi. The moment happened when he was addressing fans before unveiling another song from the movie. Although the host smoothly corrected the situation by mentioning Madhya Pradesh, the clip spread rapidly across social media platforms within hours. Internet users instantly picked up the mistake, and reactions ranged from playful trolling to full meme-mode chaos.
What made the moment even funnier for many users was how casually the mistake happened. Fans online joked that the actor had mixed up entire states in the middle of the excitement. Some comments poked fun at his geography skills, while others simply called it an honest and relatable live-event blunder. One viral reaction joked that he was “avenging the old Madrasi stereotype,” while another user hilariously claimed Ram Charan “skipped both geography class and sports day.”
But the Bihar-Bhopal mix-up was not even the only viral moment from the event.
Ram Charan Accidentally Calls Jasprit Bumrah A Footballer
In another unexpected slip-up, Ram Charan mistakenly referred to Indian cricket superstar Jasprit Bumrah as a footballer while speaking on stage. That instantly triggered another wave of reactions online because Bumrah is obviously one of India’s biggest cricket names right now. The internet had a field day combining both mistakes together, with fans joking that the actor was creating his own alternate sports universe during the promotions.
To his credit though, Ram Charan addressed the mistake quickly instead of ignoring it. The actor later posted an apology on social media, admitting he sometimes becomes forgetful with names during public events and that the confusion happened in the middle of all the crowd excitement. He also praised Bumrah and called himself a huge admirer of the cricketer’s game, adding that the fast bowler makes every Indian proud whenever he steps onto the field.
Honestly, the response from fans stayed mostly lighthearted because the mistakes clearly looked accidental rather than careless. Live events often become chaotic, especially when actors are constantly moving between speeches, performances, media interactions, and fan moments. In fact, many users online seemed more entertained than offended, which is probably why the clips spread so fast.
Meanwhile, Peddi itself continues building strong buzz ahead of release. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film reportedly features Ram Charan in a crossover athlete role involving both wrestling and cricket. The project also stars Shiva Rajkumar, Divyenndu, and Jagapathi Babu in important roles. Music for the film has been composed by A. R. Rahman, which is already becoming one of the major talking points around the movie.
The makers launched the soundtrack in Bhopal as part of a large promotional campaign ahead of the film’s global premiere on June 3, followed by its theatrical release on June 4. And after these viral moments, it honestly feels like Peddi promotions just received an unexpected boost online without even trying too hard.
