By: Shanaz B Syed | 30 Aug 2025 11:12 AM ISTSome stories start on a small screen, like YouTube, but eventually move to the bigger world of cinema. That's exactly what is happening with YouTuber Mouli. He first became popular with his OTT series 90’s – A Middle Class Biopic on ETV Win. The show showed the charm and difficulties of a Telugu middle-class family, and Mouli's acting really connected with people. Apart from acting, he also runs his YouTube channel, Mouli Talks, where he talks to his fans and shares about his projects. Now, he's taking a step into films with his movie Little Hearts. While promoting it, he shared some interesting insights about Ram Charan's upcoming film, Peddi.
Mouli said that through his Little Hearts cinematographer, who works with the famous DOP Rathnavelu, he got to visit the huge set of Peddi. The film is directed by Buchi Babu Sana and is already getting a lot of attention as a sports drama centered around cricket. Mouli was amazed by the size of the sets, saying it felt like stepping into another world.
One of the things that impressed him most was the cricket stadium set built with a lot of care. The set had real-looking crowds, old-style advertisements, and every detail was set up to look authentic. He also mentioned a man-made hill in the background, which was carefully lit to look natural on camera. For Mouli, this showed how films use imagination and creativity to make stories feel real.
His visit also gave him a glimpse into the hidden talent and effort that goes into filmmaking. What viewers see on screen for just a few minutes is the result of weeks of hard work, skill, and creativity behind the scenes. Mouli's experience at Peddi's set shows that movies are more than just stories, they are built carefully, with passion and attention to detail, to create magic on screen.
