Actor Ram Charan extended warm birthday wishes to music maestro A.R. Rahman, expressing gratitude for the musical magic the composer has brought to his upcoming film Peddi.

Ram took to Instagram, where he shared a picture with Rahman, who turned 59 on Tuesday. Ram Charan shared a heartfelt note for the Oscar-winning composer, wishing him good health, happiness and "endless music".

"Wishing @arrahman sir a very Happy Birthday. May this year bring you great health, happiness and endless music. #ChikiriChikiri was just the beginning. Can't thank you enough sir...for the magic you've woven for #Peddi," he wrote.

Talking about "Peddi", the film is directed by Buchi Babu Sana. Filmed under the working title of RC16, it was officially announced as "Peddi" in March 2025. Ram Charan in the titular role is paired with Janhvi Kapoor in an ensemble cast featuring Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu and Divyenndu.

With his in-house studio Panchathan Record Inn, Rahman's film-scoring career began during the early 1990s with the Tamil film Roja. Following that, he went on to score several songs for Tamil language films, including Mani Ratnam's politically charged Bombay, the urban Kaadhalan, Thiruda Thiruda, and S. Shankar's debut film Gentleman.

His score for his first Hollywood film, the comedy Couples Retreat in 2009. His music for Slumdog Millionaire earned him Best Original Score and Best Original Song at the 81st Academy Awards.

In 2006, he was honoured by Stanford University for his contributions to global music. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rotary Club of Madras 2008. In 2009, he was included on the Time list of the world's 100 most influential people. In 2017, he made his debut as a director and writer for the film Le Musk.

Happy Birthday to the Mozart of Madras! A living treasure of Indian music. His collaboration with Ram Charan is a dream come true for fans. Can't wait for March 2026!

While I love Rahman's music, I do wish he would compose more for original Indian stories rather than big star vehicles. His best work was for films like Bombay and Roja which had soul. Hope Peddi gives him that creative space.

As someone who discovered Indian cinema through Slumdog Millionaire, it's amazing to follow Rahman's career. His ability to blend traditional sounds with modern production is unparalleled. Wishing him a wonderful year ahead!

RC16 finally has a name! Peddi sounds interesting. With Rahman's music and Buchi Babu directing after Uppena, this is going to be a massive pan-India hit. Ram Charan and Janhvi is a fresh pair too.
