Fans and moviegoers nationwide are already taking notice of Ram Charan’s upcoming Telugu-language film Peddi. Although only 30% of the filming is finished, there is already a lot of excitement surrounding the film, particularly after Charan declared with confidence at a USA meet that Peddi would surpass his smash hit Rangasthalam.
