He absolutely aced it in every aspect. Genuinely very proud of my brother. Truly deserves every bit of the applause. Striking performance by Jagapathi Babu garu and all the other artists. Love to the leading lady, Janhvi Kapoor. Compliments to all the technicians and producers. My warm regards to the captain of the ship, Buchi Babu garu, for elevating everyone and putting Charan garu on a high pedestal. Congratulations to the entire team of #Peddi!", Allu Arjun wrote.

Finally a proper sports drama! I'm tired of these love story masala films. Ram Charan doing wrestling, cricket, sprinting – that's real dedication. Hope the story doesn't get too preachy about underdog struggles though. Still, excited to watch it this weekend!
Allu Arjun's praise is genuine – he knows the hard work that goes into such roles. 'Peddi' looks like a complete package: sports action, rural backdrop, and strong antagonists. But why are Telugu films still showing landlords as villains? 2024 mein bhi wahi old tropes? 😅
Just saw the film yesterday! 🔥 Ram Charan is phenomenal – the body transformation alone deserves applause. And Jagapathi Babu as always steals the show. Buchi Babu has directed brilliantly. My only gripe: the second half drags a bit, but overall a solid 4/5. Go watch it!
As someone who's new to Telugu cinema, this looks incredibly promising! Cross-athlete concept is unique, and the production value seems top-notch. AR Rahman's music will definitely elevate it. Planning to watch this weekend with subtitles. Hope the international release is smooth! 🌟
Love seeing these genuine friendships in the industry! Allu Arjun and Ram Charan supporting each other is so inspiring. 'Peddi' looks like a must-watch – especially for sports fans. But I hope the film doesn't glorify violence against the poor farmers. Hope it handles the rural struggles with sensitivity.
