After wrapping up Shankar’s Game Changer, Ram Charan is set to make a grand comeback with his much-anticipated 16th film, Peddi. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the movie’s first look and title were officially revealed on Ram Charan’s 40th birthday, leaving fans buzzing with excitement.

A Gritty Transformation – Ram Charan’s Look in Peddi

Director Buchi Babu Sana took to X (formerly Twitter) to unveil two striking posters of the film. In the first, Ram Charan sports a rugged, intense look, complete with a beedi in his mouth, long hair, a grown beard, and a nose ring—a style that instantly drew comparisons to Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2. Fans dubbed it “Mini Pushpa” due to the resemblance.

The second poster shows him in a red and blue striped shirt, gripping an old cricket bat with a village stadium glowing under floodlights in the backdrop. While many fans are thrilled about his powerful avatar, some claim it mirrors Pushpa’s aesthetic.

Social Media Reactions – Is It Inspired by Pushpa?

Netizens were quick to compare Peddi’s first look to Pushpa: The Rise. Some comments read:

• “Just a Pushpa copy with a cigarette!”
• “Mini Pushpa is here!”
• “Pushpa’s first look, slightly modified!”

Despite the comparisons, director Buchi Babu Sana expressed his admiration for Ram Charan, writing, “Happy Birthday my dear Ram Charan sir… You are gold”
