Peddi: Ram Charan wields a mudgal in new poster released on Hanuman Jayanti

Peddi has emerged as one of the most anticipated films of 2026, headlined by global star Ram Charan. The film also features actors Janhvi Kapoor and Jagapathi Babu in pivotal roles. Earlier, the first look of Ram Charan as Peddi Pahalwan was revealed. Now, on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, a new poster of the actor has been unveiled.

The film's Instagram handle, while sharing the poster, says, "On this auspicious day, may we all be blessed with strength, devotion, and positivity. Happy Hanuman Jayanti! -Team #Peddi (sic)." Ram Charan in his transformation as a wrestler, can be seen holding a mudgal.

Earlier, a glimpse of Ram Charan from the sports-drama was released on his 41st birthday on March 27, 2026. The short video shows him as a pehelwan (wrestler) participating in mud wrestling.

The 44-second clip begins with a voice-over explaining that wrestling is very different from cricket. It says, "It's a game where you face death itself," and asks, "Tell me now, do you want to stay or leave?" Ram Charan appears bulked up, with his hair tied in a bun, training and wrestling with skill. He also says, "Listen, dear. My pride is in my game."

The songs, Chikiri Chikiri and Rai Rai Raa Raa from the film have already been released. Chikiri Chikiri created buzz over AR Rahman's signature touch, as it crossed 200 million views. The second track, Rai Rai Raa Raa, took the momentum forward with its high-energy vibe. The song has already surpassed 47 million views on YouTube.

Written and directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi also features Shiva Rajkumar and Divyendu Sharma in key roles. The film is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under his Vriddhi Cinemas banner, in collaboration with the leading production house Mythri Movie Makers.

Peddi is set for a theatrical release on April 30, 2026.
