The trailer for Ram Charan’s Peddi has received a decent response from fans and audiences, but a section of viewers and critics has expressed disappointment with the musical score used in the promotional footage. Social media is filled with discussions around AR Rahman’s work, with many hoping the final film delivers a far more impactful background score, considering music plays a key role in emotional elevation.
At the same time, Janhvi Kapoor’s role and appearance have become a major talking point. In recent interviews, director Buchi Babu Sana described her character, Achiyamma, as an MLA’s daughter who is lovable, bold, and emotionally layered. Yet the trailer presented Janhvi in a much bolder avatar than many expected. The language used by her character and certain styling choices have not gone down well with a section of the audience.
Many viewers criticised the glamorous and revealing presentation of the character, with some arguing that women from the Uttarandhra region are not traditionally portrayed in such a manner. This marks Janhvi Kapoor’s second Telugu film after Devara, where she earned attention largely for glamour rather than performance appreciation. Several netizens now feel a similar situation is unfolding with Peddi, while some have openly questioned Buchi Babu Sana’s creative decisions.
Now, all eyes are on June 4, 2026, when the film finally hits theatres. Backed by Vriddhi Cinemas on a massive budget, Peddi remains one of the year’s biggest releases. The theatrical run alone will reveal whether these controversial creative choices ultimately strengthen the film or hold it back.
