Janhvi Kapoor Skips 'Peddi' Success Meet Amid Backlash

The team behind the recently released film 'Peddi', starring Ram Charan and directed by Buchi Babu Sana, celebrated its box office success with a meet-and-greet. However, a significant talking point was the absence of lead actress Janhvi Kapoor. Her decision to skip the event followed widespread criticism regarding her character's portrayal in the movie.

Reports indicate that the film has drawn heat for allegedly focusing excessively on Janhvi Kapoor's physical appearance rather than her character's development. This has led to accusations of objectification, prompting the film's makers to issue a public apology. They have also committed to trimming the scenes that have caused the controversy.

While Janhvi Kapoor had previously participated in pre-release promotions, she has become less active on social media following the online criticism. She has not made any public statements regarding her absence from the success meet or the controversy surrounding her role. The film also features prominent actors like Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu, and Boman Irani, with music composed by A. R. Rahman.
