**Audience Reception and Alleged Controversy**
While ‘Peddi’ has been lauded for its engaging storyline and performances, particularly that of Ram Charan, the film has also been at the center of controversy due to alleged private chats involving co-star Janhvi Kapoor. Screenshots purportedly showing Kapoor expressing concerns about certain camera angles during filming have circulated on social media. In these alleged messages, Kapoor reportedly stated, “I told him no b**b and waist shots,” and mentioned that Ram Charan supported her concerns, saying, “And Ram sir is so sweet. He also yelled at him and said, ‘You will not take such angles of her ever again.'”
Director Buchi Babu Sana addressed these discussions by emphasizing the importance of cinema in entertaining, inspiring, and connecting with audiences. He highlighted the collaborative efforts of the cast and crew in bringing ‘Peddi’ to the screen and urged viewers to focus on the film’s narrative and performances.
**Conclusion**
‘Peddi’ has demonstrated a strong box office performance, achieving significant earnings within its first three days. The film’s success reflects the audience’s appreciation for its storytelling and performances. As the film continues its theatrical run, it remains to be seen how the alleged controversy will influence its reception and box office trajectory.
