Ram Gopal Varma Reacts To Ram Charan Chikiri Track

Some songs don’t just play, they hit you. Chikiri Chikiri from Peddi has done exactly that. Ever since it dropped, the track has taken over YouTube, reels, and fan pages. Ram Charan’s energy, that catchy beedi step, and A.R. Rahman’s beat, it’s all been a riot. And now, the biggest surprise? Ram Gopal Varma himself reacting to it. The filmmaker, known for his unfiltered takes, seems genuinely impressed this time.

RGV, who recently showed up at the re-release event of his cult film Shiva with Akkineni Nagarjuna, took to X and dropped his thoughts about the song. He said it’s been a long time since he saw Charan in such a raw, real, and explosive mood. He also praised director Buchi Babu Sana for not hiding the star behind fancy sets or a crowd of dancers. The focus stayed where it should, on the hero, he wrote. Coming from someone like RGV, who rarely throws compliments, that’s saying something.

He went on to write that the real job of filmmaking, whether it’s music, direction, or camera, is to lift the hero up, not bury him under decoration. His post quickly started trending, and fans were thrilled to see him praise Charan so openly. For once, social media seemed to agree on something: Chikiri Chikiri really does have that old-school spark, the kind you don’t see often anymore.

Meanwhile, the song’s hook step is everywhere, weddings, colleges, even small-town events. Fans are copying it left and right. With Janhvi Kapoor’s first look as Achiyyamma adding to the buzz and Rahman’s music doing its thing, Peddi is building massive hype. And now, with RGV’s nod, it feels like the film just got an extra push before it even hits the screens.
