Ram Charan's Peddi directed by Buchi Babu Sana is getting rave reviews and going strong at the box office.According to the latest, it is coming out that the makers spent a bomb on lights and Jr artists. A top producer shared, “The producers cleared bills worth nearly ₹15 crore for outdoor unit vans, lighting equipment, and related logistics required for shooting across multiple locations.” He added “Another ₹8 crore was reportedly spent on junior artistes alone, as several sequences demanded hundreds of background actors to enhance the film’s scale and grandeur. These are unusually high figures even by Telugu cinema standards.” About train sequence involving Jagapathi Babu, he said “A substantial amount was spent on the VFX work, but the final output looked artificial in places. Some of the visual effects stood out for the wrong reasons," He shared “Rathnavelu has done a commendable job. The film boasts several breathtaking visuals that elevate its overall presentation.”The producer added, “On average, the production incurred daily shooting expenses of around ₹40–45 lakh, which is quite substantial.” &nbsp;

To the top of it, Ram Charan showed positve traits everywhere even when police bashed him, while Allu Arjun used to chew pan and gutka and showed his attitude with utter disdain.While these are about the lead characters, Janhvi's role in Peddi attracted immense criticism.

Peddi Kiss Controversy: Filmmaker Reacts

&nbsp;&nbsp;Hrithik Roshan shared a cryptic post on Instagram that has fans talking about Don 3. The actor said he wants to play more layered and complex roles like Zaffar from Luck By Chance in 2009. Many fans think this is a hint that he wants to join Don 3. The talk grew after Zoya Akhtar replied to his post. She wrote “Let’s get that coffee” with hug and heart emojis. This made fans hope for a Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara sequel or Hrithik’s entry in Don 3. &nbsp;On social media, one fan called it a cheeky way to say he wants Don 3. Another asked Zoya directly if it was Don 3. On Reddit, people shared ideas too. One user felt Hrithik was giving a soft pitch to Farhan Akhtar for the role. The buzz comes at a time when Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar are already in the news over Don 3. Hrithik’s post added more fire to the casting talk. Fans have been waiting for updates on the film since the last part came out years ago. &nbsp; &nbsp;Still, many fans doubt he would pitch for Don 3 on Instagram. Hrithik and Farhan are close friends since childhood. They worked together on hit films like Lakshya and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. One Reddit user asked why he would not just call Farhan directly if he wanted the part. Another fan agreed and said a direct talk makes more sense than a public post. The debate shows how eager people are for Don 3 news. &nbsp;Hrithik had a small role in Don 2 in 2011. That cameo keeps fans guessing about his return. But Hrithik once cleared the air on these rumours. He said he was never asked to do Don 3. He asked media to avoid false reports. Even with his denial, the new post has started a fresh talk. The Don series is known for style, action, and strong roles. If Hrithik joins, it will bring big excitement to the franchise.

&nbsp;Ram Charan’s Peddi is one of the biggest Telugu movies this year. The sports action film was made on a huge budget of about Rs 350 crore. It has a big star cast from many film industries. The story and scale have created strong buzz across India. Reports say the actors were paid very high fees for their roles. Ram Charan plays Peddi, a skilled athlete who gives hope to his village. He is said to have taken Rs 60 crore to Rs 70 crore for the film. This makes him the top-paid actor in the team. &nbsp;Janhvi Kapoor plays Achiyamma, a brave and bold girl close to Peddi. Her role is strong and not just a love interest. She was paid around Rs 5 crore to Rs 6 crore. Shiva Rajkumar plays Gournaidu, a key person in the story. The Kannada star got Rs 4 crore to Rs 5 crore. Jagapathi Babu is seen as Appalasoori, an important role in the plot. He charged between Rs 2 crore and Rs 4 crore. Divyenndu Sharma from Mirzapur plays Rambujji, the main villain. His fight scenes with Ram Charan are a big highlight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Janhvi Kapoor’s role in Peddi has started a big debate. Many people feel the film shows her only in a glamorous way. Director Buchi Babu Sana focused on looks more than the story. Fans say she did not get a strong role with real depth. This is not the first time. The same talk came up during her Telugu debut in Devara. In that film, too she had only a few scenes and songs in the second half. Viewers felt she was just a visual part of the movie, not a key part of the plot. &nbsp;The main problem is not Janhvi’s acting. The issue is the type of roles she gets. In both Devara and Peddi, makers gave more weight to glamour than to character. Janhvi has talent and screen presence, but films are not using it well. People remember her mother Sridevi, for strong roles. Sridevi did both commercial films and serious roles with ease. She worked in many languages and won love for her acting. That is why fans ask if Telugu films are really testing Janhvi’s skill or just using her star name. &nbsp; &nbsp;Tollywood is known for strong female characters who drive the story. But when a star like Janhvi comes in, directors often choose safe glamour parts. Many feel she can do emotional and deep roles that connect with people. Using her only for songs and style makes the role forgettable, even if the movie earns money. It is a missed chance for both the actor and the industry. &nbsp;Janhvi is very popular in the South now. This is the right time for makers to give her better parts. Audiences have seen her glam side already. What they want next is a role that shows her real acting and feeling. If films keep giving her small ornamental parts, her talent will stay hidden. Good roles can help her grow and also give Tollywood lasting female characters.

&nbsp;Ram Charan’s Peddi is doing well on day two. The film made close to Rs 40 Cr worldwide on its second day. After a big opening, the sports action movie is keeping strong crowds in Andhra Pradesh. The total collection in two days has crossed Rs 150 Cr gross. The team says the number is around Rs 155 Cr worldwide. This shows the film has good support from fans. &nbsp;The day two numbers are different in each area. Andhra Pradesh had very strong results and theatres were full. Nizam area saw decent business. Other Telugu regions had okay numbers. But other language markets and overseas shows are going down. The film is facing a tough fight in non Telugu states. Still, the buzz is high because of Ram Charan’s star power and the strong story. &nbsp;Day three is very important for Peddi. The movie has a big budget and needs high collections to recover money. Saturday and Sunday will decide the next step. Family crowds usually come on weekends, so the makers hope for a jump. The action scenes and Ram Charan’s role are getting good talk. If the weekend goes well, the film can reach its break even target. &nbsp;Peddi released with huge expectations. The sports drama has fresh music and strong visuals. Many fans liked the first day show and word of mouth is helping. Trade experts feel the next two days will set the final path. The film must do well in all areas to become a big hit.
