Shikhar Pahariya excited for Janhvi Kapoor and Ram Charan's 'Peddi', calls her "lady don" after trailer release

Mumbai, May 19

Actor Janhvi Kapoor's rumoured boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, seems to be excited about her upcoming film 'Peddi'.

After the trailer of the film was launched in Mumbai on May 18, Shikhar shared his reaction on social media and left fans talking with his fun post for Janhvi Kapoor.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, Shikhar praised Janhvi and called her a "lady don" in both reel and real life. Sharing the trailer, he wrote, "@janhvikapoor lady don in reel life and real life. @alwaysramcharan too good, brother mass. Can't wait."

Actor Varun Dhawan also reacted to the trailer and showered praise on Janhvi Kapoor and the team. He wrote, "Janhvi Kapoor u r looking amazing can't wait to watch u all the best for peddi. Congratulations to the entire team @alwaysramcharan is fire."

The three-minute and seven-second trailer opens with the massy introduction of Ram Charan while the actor flexes his batting and wrestling skills. At one point in the trailer, Boman Irani hailed Ram Charan as the cross athlete of India.

The trailer showcases a sweeping rural drama where the lead character's undying love for sports is dominated by struggles orchestrated by the landlords and other powerful antagonists. Ram Charan plays a multi-talented athlete who earns his livelihood through sheer physical strength, straddling cricket, wrestling and sprinting.

According to the video, Divyendu is expected to play the role of an antagonist in the film. Ram Charan was also seen romancing with actress Janhvi Kapoor in the movie.

The movie is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the banner of Vriddhi Cinemas. The film's music is composed by AR Rahman.

The film is slated to release in theatres on June 4.

Finally, a proper pan-Indian film for Ram Charan after RRR! Janhvi Kapoor is lucky to share screen with him. But why does every trailer have to show the hero as this superhuman athlete? 🤔 A bit clichéd, no? Still, I'm curious to see how the rural drama unfolds. Let's hope the story isn't just about muscles and romance.

Varun Dhawan's reaction was spot on! Janhvi looks stunning in the trailer. But honestly, I'm more excited about Divyendu as the antagonist—he's been killing it lately. Shikhar Pahariya seems like a supportive partner, which is sweet. But can we talk about how amazing AR Rahman's bgm sounds already? Goosebumps! 🎶 The June release will surely clash with some big films, hope 'Peddi' holds its ground.

I'm a bit skeptical about Janhvi's dialogue delivery, but she has improved a lot since her debut. Ram Charan's screen presence is unmatched—just look at those intro shots! The rural sports drama angle feels like a mix of 'Lagaan' and 'Chak De India', but that's not a bad thing. Let's see if the film brings something new to the table. Shikhar's "lady don" comment was cute, but I wish people would focus more on the film than their personal lives 🤷‍♀️

Finally, a film that celebrates rural sports! As someone from a village in Tamil Nadu, I love seeing stories about athletes who struggle against landlords and systemic issues. Boman Irani's line about "cross athlete" caught my attention—it's time we recognize multi-sport talent in India. The trailer gave me chills. Ram Charan and Janhvi seem to have good chemistry. I'm genuinely excited for this one! 🇮🇳🏏💪
