Ram Charan kicked off the promotional campaign for “Peddi” with events across major cities.
However, his appearance in Bhopal turned into an unexpected PR setback after a few mistakes during his speech drew widespread attention on social media.
The actor was trolled for referring to cricketer Jasprit Bumrah as a football player and for mixing up the names of a city and a state while addressing the audience. Clips from the event quickly went viral, triggering criticism and memes online.
Since then, Ram Charan appears to have adopted a more measured approach during his promotional appearances.
At subsequent events and media interactions, the actor has been careful with his remarks, sticking to safe and diplomatic responses while avoiding statements that could spark controversy.
The change was evident during the film’s promotional stops in Bengaluru and Chennai.
At the Chennai event, Ram Charan went out of his way to praise actor-politician Vijay, describing him as a superstar who had created history by transitioning from cinema to politics and aspiring to lead the state.
Industry observers note that the actor is now focused on keeping the spotlight firmly on “Peddi” and ensuring that the promotional campaign remains free of distractions.
Meanwhile, anticipation for the film continues to build. In North America, advance sales are steadily gaining momentum and are inching closer to the $1 million milestone, signalling strong interest ahead of the film’s release.
