According to him, the actors are facing a ruthless and unforgiving world. The Shootout At Wadala director advised the actors that they need to realise just to be careful with their choices, as the audience is now judge, jury and algorithm. For the unversed, Janhvi Kapoor is getting trolled for flaunting her body repeatedly in a sports drama. The makers of the film were also trolled for showing a female protagonist in an objectionable manner. The director of Peddi, Buchi Babu Sana, apologised for his mistakes. It has to be noted that Peddi also stars Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu and others in key roles. It was released on June 4, 2026, in theatres.
