The anticipation surrounding Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s massive rustic action-sports drama "Peddi" continues to skyrocket as it gears up for a grand worldwide release on June 4, 2026. Spearheaded by visionary director Buchi Babu Sana and presented under the prestigious banners of Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, the film marks the grand maiden production venture of Venkata Satish Kilaru’s Vriddhi Cinemas.
Ahead of the highly awaited theatrical trailer launch, producer Venkata Satish Kilaru interacted with the media, expressing his immense gratitude toward Ram Charan, detailing the rigorous production journey, and sharing insights into the film's stellar technical collaboration.
From Construction to Cinema: Venkata Satish Kilaru’s Background
Hailing from a rooted agricultural family, Satish pursued his higher education in Vijayawada. After completing his engineering degree, he successfully established himself in the construction sector. Fueled by a lifelong passion for cinema alongside his close friend Naveen, Satish eventually transitioned into film production.
Stepping into show business by backing a global superstar like Ram Charan is a rare feat, one that Satish describes as pure fortune. "It is an absolute honor that Charan Garu trusted our vision. The positive energy on set was unyielding, so much so that the entire team, including the hero and director, became incredibly emotional on the final day of the wrap," the producer shared.
Ram Charan’s Extreme Two-Year Transformation
Satish spoke extensively about the grueling physical demands placed on Ram Charan for his intense character arc in the film.
-
Rigorous Discipline: The actor trained continuously for two years under a specialized fitness coach to achieve a raw, athletic frame.
-
Overcoming Injuries: Despite suffering multiple physical setbacks, Ram Charan never compromised. Satish revealed that the actor underwent emergency stitches near his eye during a complex sequence and shockingly returned to the set the very next day, utilizing a physiotherapist between takes to stay in filming condition.
A Musical Masterpiece by AR Rahman
When director Buchi Babu Sana initially locked the script, legendary composer AR Rahman was always the definitive choice for the score.
-
The Collaboration: Satish noted that upon hearing the narration, the maestro was deeply thrilled and invested more time into the project than anyone anticipated, meticulously fine-tuning every single track.
-
The Impact: The audio album has already turned into a massive chartbuster, laying a flawless musical foundation ahead of the theatrical release.
The Creative Ecosystem of 'Peddi'
Addressing rumors regarding creative involvement, the producer clarified that while Buchi Babu Sana may have initially shared the script with his mentor Sukumar, the execution on set was handled entirely by Buchi Babu himself.
The historical setting of the film—crafted around an 1980s backdrop—was brought to life through majestic sets constructed by production designer Avinash Kolla, paired with sleek visual framing by master cinematographer R. Rathnavelu. Apart from massive studio builds, the production unit traveled extensively to shoot across authentic live locations in Sri Lanka, Pune, and Delhi.
Satish also emphasized that the narrative is packed with deep-rooted character arcs handled brilliantly by a star-studded supporting ensemble including Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu Sharma, Boman Irani, and Tinnu Anand.
Box Office Prospects and Next Venture
Exuding calm and absolute confidence just weeks before the release, Satish smiled and shared that the film's entire theatrical and non-theatrical business has already been closed smoothly.
"The upcoming trailer will shatter expectations and leave viewers desperate to book their tickets. From the opening title cards to the final resolution, the screenplay is designed as a relentless, commercial package of emotions and action. It will be a historic release across the Telugu states, pan-India, and overseas," he asserted. Wrapping up the interaction on a high note, the producer confirmed that Vriddhi Cinemas' highly anticipated next venture will star Nandamuri Balakrishna.
