Shiva Rajkumar hopes Ram Charan wins National Award for Peddi: I'm praying for that
Shiva Rajkumar has backed Ram Charan's performance in Peddi, saying he hopes the actor wins a National Award, just as Allu Arjun did for Pushpa: The Rise.
Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar has expressed confidence in Ram Charan's performance in the upcoming Telugu film Peddi, saying he hopes the actor wins a National Award for his role. Speaking exclusively to India Today, Shiva Rajkumar revealed that he had personally conveyed his wishes to Ram Charan and was keeping his fingers crossed for the actor's success.
Praising Ram Charan's work in the film, Shiva Rajkumar said, "I hope everybody loves this film (Peddi) and I was just saying this to Ram Charan sir that he should get a National Award for this. I'm actually praying for that. I had told this about Allu Arjun sir after watching Pushpa, that I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying like that."
The actor was referring to Allu Arjun's National Award win for Pushpa: The Rise, which made him the first Telugu actor to receive the honour in the Best Actor category. Shiva Rajkumar said he hopes his wishes for Ram Charan come true in a similar manner.
Peddi marks another major collaboration in Ram Charan's career and has already generated significant buzz ahead of its release. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the sports drama features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead and is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on June 4.
Shiva Rajkumar, who plays a pivotal role in the film, has been actively promoting Peddi ahead of its release. During his conversation with India Today, the actor also spoke about his admiration for actor-politician Vijay and shared his thoughts on celebrities entering politics, among other topics.
Alongside Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor and Shiva Rajkumar, Peddi also features Boman Irani, Divyendu Sharma, Ravi Kishan and Jagapathi Babu in important roles. Music for the film has been composed by AR Rahman, while cinematography has been handle by R Rathnavelu of Rangasthalam fame.
