Ravi Kishan has now added even more hype around Peddi, and his latest comments are honestly much bigger than regular promotional praise. Speaking at the film’s Bhopal event ahead of release, the actor compared Ram Charan’s upcoming sports drama with iconic emotional blockbusters like Dangal and 3 Idiots, calling Peddi a film that could inspire the youth of the country in a major way.
The film, which has already been carrying strong buzz because of Ram Charan’s intense transformation and large-scale visuals, seems to have deeply impressed Ravi Kishan after watching portions connected to the project. During the event, he openly claimed that Peddi would become “India’s hope” and said the story has the emotional strength to reconnect with young audiences who may have lost direction or motivation in life.
According to Ravi Kishan, the film carries the same emotional energy that once made Dangal and 3 Idiots connect across generations. Those films worked because they mixed entertainment with inspiration and emotional relatability, and now he believes Peddi may hit audiences in a similar way. The actor even went a step further and predicted that Ram Charan could receive a National Award for his performance in the film.
That’s obviously a huge statement considering the expectations already sitting on Ram Charan after the worldwide success of RRR. Over the last few years, the actor has slowly become one of Indian cinema’s biggest pan-India stars, and Peddi looks like another attempt to push him into a more emotionally driven and physically demanding role rather than only larger-than-life mass action territory.
Ram Charan Plays A Rare Multi-Sport Athlete In The Film
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi reportedly features Ram Charan as a crossover athlete involved in wrestling, cricket, and running. That unusual character setup alone has already made the film stand apart from typical sports dramas. Set against the backdrop of Vizianagaram in Andhra Pradesh, the movie appears to combine raw rural energy with emotional storytelling and intense sports action.
The film also carries a huge ensemble cast featuring Janhvi Kapoor, Jagapathi Babu, Shiva Rajkumar, Divyenndu, Boman Irani, and Ravi Kishan himself in major roles. Reports also suggest Shruti Haasan will appear in a special song sequence titled Hellallallo, which has already become a talking point online.
Another major attraction around the movie is the music by A. R. Rahman. The soundtrack and promotional material have already started building strong excitement among fans, especially after the recent large-scale promotional events held across different cities. Industry insiders also claim the film has been mounted on a massive budget reportedly touching around Rs 350 crore, making it one of the biggest Telugu productions currently releasing this year.
Interestingly, Peddi is also heading into a box office clash with Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai starring Varun Dhawan. But despite the competition, the hype around Ram Charan’s film keeps growing steadily, especially after comments like Ravi Kishan’s started circulating online.
Whether Peddi truly reaches the emotional impact level of Dangal or 3 Idiots is something audiences will decide after release. But one thing is pretty clear already — the film is no longer being promoted as just another sports entertainer. The makers are positioning it as an emotional, inspirational mass drama with serious pan-India ambitions.
