The film has already been garnering a lot of attention for its first-look posters and glimpses. Produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, and prestigiously presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, 'Peddi' is being mounted on a massive scale with a high budget. The film features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead.
"Director Buchi Babu Sana, a known perfectionist, is paying meticulous attention to every action segment. Each fight sequence has been crafted with unique concepts and breathtaking execution," a source had said some days ago.
'Peddi', apart from Ramcharan and Janhvi Kapoor, also stars Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu and Divyendu Sharma in prominent roles.
'Peddi' is backed by a stellar technical crew, with Academy Award winner AR Rahman composing the music, renowned cinematographer R Rathnavelu handling the camera, and National Award–winning editor Navin Nooli taking charge of the editing.
