After the trailer of Peddi, many believe that Ram Charan's character participates in a running track with an artificial leg. The final shot from the trailer has gone viral, leading fans and netizens to interpret it as the character being physically challenged, appearing legless. YouTube shorts and social media posts amplified this.
Insider buzz claimed the protagonist loses his legs in a fight with the villain (or due to some incident) and later competes as a Paralympic runner with prosthetics. This ties into the sports drama theme and an emotional climax. Some linked it to the director Buchi Babu Sana's previous work, Uppena.
If the rumour turns out to be true, the climax scenes will have to be heart-rending for the audience to accept a Tier-1 star in a differently-abled role. If Peddi becomes a hit, Ram Charan's daring portrayal will be praised for years.
Vriddhi Cinemas and Mythri Movie Makers are set to ensure a big release. Peddi will head to theatres on June 4, with premiere shows scheduled for the night of June 3.
