The mega musical event for Peddi in Bhopal turned out to be a spectacular success. Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor, and the man of the hour, AR Rahman, graced the occasion and ensured it was a massive hit. However, Ram Charan, who admits he often mixes up names in high-energy settings, faced a rather amusing dilemma during the event.
During a rapid-fire question round on stage, he was asked about Jasprit Bumrah and accidentally referred to him as a football player while calling him his favourite. While the star did not immediately realise his slip of the tongue, the internet was already flooded with hilarious memes.
Demonstrating his class, Ram Charan later took to his social media account to issue a swift and heartfelt apology to the ace cricketer.
“Uff… I’m genuinely so forgetful with names sometimes. Apologies to Jasprit Bumrah Ji for the mix-up – it was a genuine human error in the middle of all the excitement and the crowd. I truly respect you and I am a huge fan of your game. You make every Indian feel proud when you consistently put batsmen on the back foot.”
Fans immensely appreciate Ram Charan’s grounded nature and his quick initiative to clarify the mistake with a sincere apology. Beyond just his dedicated fanbase, general movie lovers are widely admiring the humility and grace reflected in his words.
Meanwhile, Peddi is scheduled to hit screens on June 4, 2026, riding on massive expectations from audiences nationwide. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, this highly anticipated pan-Indian rural sports drama features a stellar ensemble cast including Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu Sharma, and Boman Irani. This high-budget cinematic venture is bankrolled by Vriddhi Cinemas.
