Jagapathi Babu's 'Appalasoori' Role Fuels 'Peddi' Anticipation

The upcoming Telugu sports action drama 'Peddi,' starring Ram Charan, is building significant anticipation for its April 30, 2026, worldwide release. A recent birthday wish for Jagapathi Babu revealed his character, 'Appalasoori,' a principled, elderly figure expected to be a major highlight and catalyst in the film. His intense look has further fueled audience curiosity.

The film, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, boasts an ensemble cast including Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, and Divyendu Sharma. Adding to the excitement is the chartbuster song 'Chikiri,' which has achieved remarkable success with over 200 million views and 2 million likes across multiple languages, underscoring the project's broad appeal and setting a strong momentum.

Produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru of Vriddhi Cinemas in association with Mythri Movie Makers, 'Peddi' aims to combine a gripping sports narrative with strong character arcs. Jagapathi Babu's portrayal of Appalasoori is particularly noted as a key element that audiences are eager to witness upon the film's theatrical debut.
