What made you be a part of Peddi?
Peddi has a fantastic story, and my character is designed brilliantly. I genuinely wanted to be part of such a powerful film. I’m very pleased with my role. Gournaidu has a clear purpose and strong motivation. Director Buchi Babu has presented the character beautifully.
Are you playing Ram Charan’s coach in the film?
It is somewhat similar to a coach’s role. Peddi’s journey is wonderful, and many characters keep coming into his life along the way. The bond between Gournaidu and Peddi will be very interesting. The emotional connection and heartfelt moments between them will resonate with audiences.
Tell us about Ram Charan’s performance in Peddi.
I firmly believe Ram Charan will bag a National Award for this film. His physical makeover and performance are extraordinary. He worked incredibly hard and stayed completely dedicated to this role during the whole journey. He completely immersed himself in the Peddi character and performed with absolute honesty.
How was the shooting experience for Peddi?
Ram Charan, director Buchi Babu Sana, and all the technicians treated me with great respect and affection. We had a lovely atmosphere on the sets. We worked like a family, and it helped me perform even better.
Tell us about director Buchi Babu Sana:
His filmmaking style and the way he executes are top-notch. He superbly captured what the story needed and shaped the film brilliantly. He is a fantastic director with exceptional storytelling capability.
There is a lot of discussion around the film’s climax. What can we expect?
It’s the surprising part. I cannot reveal it now. You have to experience it yourself in theatres to truly feel its impact. Peddi will be loved by one and all.
How do you prepare for a role?
Once the director narrates the story, I visualize a style for the character and discuss it with him. Then, I blend his ideas with my own to fully understand and portray the role.
