Ram Charan's bodyguard, Kevin Kunta, has become an internet sensation following viral appearances alongside the actor. The 27-year-old is not only a security professional but also a professional MMA fighter from Gambia, currently based in Florence, Italy. Charan himself responded with humor to the attention, jokingly noting that Kunta's newfound fame might lead to bribery attempts for information about him.

According to fight records, he competes in the middleweight division in Europe, with a record of four wins and six losses, his last fight being in November 2025.

Peddi, the film for which Ram Charan is currently promoting, is a sports drama directed by Buchi Babu Sana.
