Ram Charan's RC16 titled Peddi, first look unveiled

Ram Charan’s highly anticipated 16th film, formerly called RC16, is now officially titled Peddi. The announcement came on his 40th birthday, along with the release of the film’s first-look posters by director Buchi Babu Sana.

In the posters, Ram Charan sports a rugged and intense look with a piercing gaze, unkempt beard, messy hair, and a nose ring, exuding a menacing presence. Dressed in a striped red shirt and smoking a cigar, his fierce and earthy aura is undeniable. Another poster shows him gripping an old cricket bat in a rural stadium lit by floodlights, hinting at the film’s rustic setting and intense themes.

Director Buchi Babu Sana shared the posters on social media with a heartfelt message, calling Charan Gold and thanking him. Ram Charan also posted the first look, writing, A FIGHT FOR IDENTITY!! RC16 is Peddi. A buchibabu_sana film. An arrahman musical. His co-star Janhvi Kapoor shared the poster on Instagram, expressing excitement and wishing him a happy birthday.

Peddi features Janhvi Kapoor, Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar, and Jagapathi Babu, along with Mirzapur actor Divyenndu. The film is backed by Sukumar’s production house, with music by Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman. Meanwhile, Ram Charan was last seen in Game Changer, directed by S. Shankar, alongside Kiara Advani.
