Ram Charan has dropped a new poster of his upcoming movie, Peddi. On Thursday, the actor took to his X handle and dropped a poster in which he was seen maintaining a stern expression on his face. He was also
seen flaunting his chiseled abs as he held a mace in his hands. It should be noted that in all the Peddi posters released so far, gada, a traditional heavy wooden club used by wrestlers, has been central to Charan’s physical overhaul.
While it remains unclear if Ram Charan’s pahelwanrole in the movie has some connection to lord Hanuman, the mace in his hands has surely left netizens excited. It should also be noted that in the caption of his poster, Charan wished fans on Hanuman Jayanti and wrote, “Wishing everyone a blessed Hanuman Jayanti 🙏.” Check it out here:

Previously, Peddi director Buchi Babu Sana detailed the training process behind the actor’s look in the movie. “He put in immense effort, training every day for almost eight months to achieve the physique we envisioned for a pehelwan. That level of discipline extended beyond training- while observing Ayyappa deeksha, steered clear of non-vegetarian food,” he shared.
“Every pehelwan uses a mugdar for training. In Peddi, his character shares a strong connection with the gada, which he uses as part of his workouts,” Sana explained and then added, “He trained extensively with it, and the fight sequences incorporate that, along with elements like mud and traditional wrestling setups.”
Written and directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi stars Ram Charan in the titular role, alongside Shiva Rajkumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Divyendu Sharma, and Jagapathi Babu. Produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under his banner, Vriddhi Cinemas, and in collaboration with leading production house Mythri Movie Makers, the film is scheduled for release on April 30, 2026.
