Peddi director Buchi Babu Sana revealed that he developed the script keeping only Ram Charan in mind. He said the idea for the film was conceived much before the release of his debut film, Uppena.
“That was the time we were discussing releasing Uppena directly on OTT. I told Sukumar sir that I would work on my next film, and he asked if I had any ideas. I narrated a brief line, and he called it very unique. Later, I started developing the script while sitting at the Dattathreya temple in Pithapuram. I began writing the story by deciding that Ram Charan garu would play a jaggery factory worker named Peddi,” said Buchi Babu Sana.
He further added, “If I had told others back then that I wanted to make a film with Ram Charan garu, nobody would have believed me.” Janhvi Kapoor plays the female lead in this sports action drama, while AR Rahman is composing the music.
