Peddi movie controversy

Peddi features Ram Charan in the lead role alongside Shiva Rajkumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Divyendu Sharma, and Jagapathi Babu, bringing together a strong ensemble that elevates the film’s scale and impact. This is the first time that Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor will be seen together on-screen and that has left the fans excited. 

Interestingly, their parents Chiranjeevi and late legendary first female superstar Sridevi also did films together like ‘Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari’, ‘SP Parasuram’, ‘Kadhal Devathai’ among many others

Upon its release, Peddi faced controversy for its alleged objectification of Janhvi Kapoor’s character, Achiyamma, with many viewers specifically citing particular camera shots and a scene depicting a non-consensual kiss. In response to the criticism, director Buchi Babu Sana issued a public apology stating that it was never their intention to disrespect women and confirming that the production team would actively modify and edit out the controversial portions in the theatres
