Director Buchi Babu Sana has openly spoken about the challenges faced by his latest film Peddi, starring Ram Charan. The director recently admitted that the movie's trailer was not edited in the best possible way and may have created a wrong impression among viewers before the film's release.
According to Buchi Babu, the trailer included too many important moments packed into a single sequence. As a result, it failed to show the true spirit of the film. He said that such mistakes can be costly, especially for big-budget movies, because audiences often form opinions based on trailers and promotional material.
Actor Jagapathi Babu also spoke about the difficult period before the film's release. He recalled seeing a lot of negative comments and criticism online. Even some people who initially supported the project seemed doubtful about its success. This created concern among the team during the release period.
However, the situation started changing after audiences watched the movie. Buchi Babu said that positive reviews from viewers and content creators played an important role in improving the film's image. Many social media influencers shared their honest opinions through videos and reels, helping more people learn about the movie. These personal recommendations encouraged families and general audiences to visit theatres.
The film also faced criticism regarding the portrayal of the character played by Janhvi Kapoor. Some viewers felt that certain scenes were unnecessary and uncomfortable. Responding to the feedback, Buchi Babu clarified that there was never any intention to disrespect women or make anyone feel uncomfortable. He said the team carefully listened to audience concerns and took the criticism seriously.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings, and Vriddhi Cinemas, Peddi is a sports action drama set in rural Andhra Pradesh during the 1980s. The film follows a young villager who brings his community together through sports and fights to protect their pride and identity. The movie marks Buchi Babu Sana's second directorial venture after the success of Uppena.
