For months, the makers of Peddi have kept fans guessing about the true genre of Ram Charan's upcoming film. Early reports suggested that the Buchi Babu Sana directorial was a rustic sports action entertainer centred on cricket. The perception gained traction when the film's title glimpse dropped in 2025. Later, the song Chikiri Chikiri showed Ram Charan performing a hook step with a cricket bat, and its viral popularity further cemented the belief that Peddi revolved heavily around the sport. However, fresh updates point to a surprising twist.
