It is worth noting that the creators of director Buchi Babu Sana's highly anticipated action entertainer 'Peddi', featuring Ram Charan in the lead role, released the captivating romantic single 'Chikiri Chikiri' last Friday, much to the joy of fans and cinema enthusiasts.
This energetic track, composed by A R Rahman, features lyrics by Balaji and is beautifully rendered by Mohit Chauhan. In the song, Ram Charan showcases his signature dance moves, perfectly synchronized with Rahman’s vibrant and electrifying composition. The music radiates energy, delivering a spectacular visual and auditory experience.
Unsurprisingly, the song has garnered significant appreciation from fans who praised Ram Charan for his dancing prowess, A R Rahman for his music, and Rathnavelu for the stunning visuals.
Interestingly, director Buchi Babu Sana recently revealed the meaning behind the title 'Chikiri'. During a discussion with music director A R Rahman, he explained, "In the hero's village, the men affectionately refer to the beautiful women as Chikiri. That is the essence of the song."
Meanwhile, sources indicate that the team is diligently working to keep the project on schedule.
Ram Charan has undergone a remarkable transformation for his role. Janhvi Kapoor portrays a character named Achiyyamma in the film, alongside Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar in a significant supporting role, and Jagapathi Babu and Divyendu Sharma in pivotal roles.
With a stellar technical team in place, 'Peddi' promises to deliver a rich cinematic experience. Rathnavelu is overseeing cinematography, while National Award-winning editor Navin Nooli handles the editing.
