Legendary composer A R Rahman is making a much-anticipated return to Telugu cinema with Peddi, a new film starring Ram Charan and directed by Uppena fame Buchi Babu Sana. This marks Rahman’s first full-length Telugu film project in several years, and fans are excited to see what the Oscar-winner will bring to the table.
In a recent interview, Rahman spoke warmly about working with director Buchi Babu Sana. He shared that the filmmaker presented five major scenes from the film, each with three musical references to explain the tone he wanted. Rahman was impressed with the clarity and depth of the director’s vision, praising his “refined musical sense.”
Rahman, known for being selective with his projects, said he felt inspired by the director’s storytelling style and the emotion behind the scenes. He described the collaboration as refreshing and creatively satisfying. The background music featured in the film’s teaser has already won praise online for its emotional intensity and unique sound.
Peddi is expected to be a powerful mix of drama, emotion, and rural life. The story is said to be inspired by real events from Andhra Pradesh and will explore themes like ambition, tradition, and family legacies. Buchi Babu Sana, known for his emotionally grounded narratives, has promised a film that connects with audiences on many levels.
Ram Charan is playing the lead role and is joined by actors like Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, and Jagapathi Babu. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, Peddi is scheduled to hit cinemas on 27 March 2026.
With Rahman’s music, Charan’s star power, and Sana’s emotional storytelling, Peddi is shaping up to be one of Telugu cinema’s most awaited releases.
