"Sees extraordinary in ordinary": Bandi Sanjay praises PM Modi after Ram Charan shares anecdote on film 'Peddi'
New Delhi, May 31
Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Sunday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ability to find "the extraordinary in ordinary lives," highlighting an anecdote shared by actor Ram Charan during a recent promotional event for his upcoming film Peddi.
Taking to X, Bandi Sanjay stated that PM Modi's focus on real people and real-life stories serves as the true driving force behind India's national development.
"What stands out about Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji is his ability to see the extraordinary in ordinary lives. While discussing Movie "Peddi" with actor Shri @AlwaysRamCharan garu, Modi ji recalled a footballer Mohammed from a small village in West Bengal who represented India decades ago. For many, it may be just a story from the past. For Modi ji, it was proof of how one inspired individual can transform an entire community," he said.
"Today, more than 85 youngsters from that same village play football. That is why Modi ji constantly speaks about real people and real stories. He understands that India's transformation will not come only from policies, but from millions of individuals who inspire others to dream bigger, work harder and achieve more," he said.
"One person's success can change a village. A million such stories can change a nation. Only Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji could turn a conversation about a film into a lesson about India", he said.
Meanwhile, the actor met PM Modi last year along with his wife, Upasana Konidela and father-in-law Anil Kamineni. The meeting took place at the sidelines of the Archery Premier League tournament in 2025.
Ram Charan, who was present in the national capital for the Archery Premier League's celebratory event, shared pictures from the meeting on X and expressed his honour at meeting the Prime Minister.
He wrote, "Honoured to meet Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji the success of the world's first Archery Premier League, led by Anil Kamineni Garu. This is our small step to preserve the legacy of archery and promote it worldwide. Congratulations to all the athletes. We hope many more will join this incredible sport."
Meanwhile, the film also stars Divyenndu and Boman Irani in pivotal roles. The film is directed by Buchi Babu Sana.

Seriously? Everything has to be about Modi. Ram Charan was promoting his film, and Bandi Sanjay is using it for political points. Can't we have one normal conversation without making it a PR exercise for the PM? Peddi looks good though, excited for Buchi Babu Sana's direction.
As someone from a small town in Andhra, I truly appreciate when leaders acknowledge ordinary people. But let's be honest — talk is cheap. I want to see more concrete schemes for rural sports development, not just anecdotes. That is the real transformation we need. The film industry and politics should stay separate honestly.
As an American living in India for work, I find this fascinating. Our leaders rarely use cultural moments to talk about development. The idea that one person's story can inspire 85 kids to play football is genuinely powerful. But I wonder if the follow-through matches the rhetoric. Still, more inspiring than most political speeches back home!
Incredible how PM Modi can weave inspiration from any conversation. That footballer from Bengal — I bet no one else in that room knew about him. This is the leadership we need: one that sees potential in every Indian, not just the privileged. Ram Charan is lucky to have had that moment with him. Peddi will be a hit for sure! 🔥
