The makers had earlier unveiled glimpses of her character through first-look posters and the song Chikiri Chikiri, which portrayed the actress in a fiery and energetic avatar with a charming personality.

Peddi is said to revolve around a cricket tournament set against a rural backdrop. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana — who also helmed the acclaimed Uppena — the film promises the same raw emotional depth blended with high-octane action that the director is known for.
Star-Studded Ensemble Cast
Alongside Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles, the ensemble cast includes Shiva Rajkumar, Divyendu Sharma, Jagapathi Babu, and Boman Irani, among others. Shruti Haasan is also expected to make a cameo appearance in a dance number.
