Chennai, May 22(IANS) A crucial and lengthy schedule of director Buchi Babu Sana's much awaited 'Peddi', featuring actor Ram Charan in the lead, has begun in a gigantic set in Hyderabad.

Peddi delves into a raw, earthy aesthetic, and the production team has gone to great lengths to ensure an immersive cinematic experience.

Janhvi Kapoor is the leading lady, while Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyendu Sharma are also part of the cast.
