The industry is excited about Ram Charan's upcoming sports drama Peddi, which is directed by Buchi Babu Sana. This movie is viewed as a vital chance for the star to recover and have a strong box office performance after 'Game Changer's lacklustre reception.

In keeping with its mass entertainer label, Peddi is anticipated to have all the elements that fans love, including a high-energy item song that has already gained a lot of popularity among moviegoers.

Reports predict that the song, with its folk lyrics inspired by the Srikakulam area, will become a full-fledged mass hit.

The key question still stands, though: who will appear on screen with Ram Charan in Peddi  for this unique scene?

With three prominent women at the top of the list, speculation has been rampant. At first, rumors circulated that Sree Leela, a rising star, was in negotiations for the song.

Later on, Pooja Hegde's name became well-known, particularly following her recent viral success with Coolie.

Excitement was further heightened by the prospect of her and Ram Charan getting back together after Rangasthalam.

The casting talks are now even more intriguing because Samantha is reportedly also in the running.

Before making an official announcement, director Buchi Babu and his team are reportedly carefully considering all of their options.

The item song is expected to be one of Peddi's most memorable moments, regardless of which actress gets the part.

Music master AR Rahman is writing the soundtrack, which heightens the excitement and promises fans a stirring musical experience.

Peddi is positioned to be one of the most anticipated Telugu movies in the upcoming months thanks to its flawless fusion of sports drama, mass appeal, and star power.
