Varma immersed himself in the shoot, particularly the intense sports scenes that capture the raw thrill of competition. His presence energized actors and technicians alike, turning a regular day into a celebration. Director Buchi Babu Sana shared a heartwarming video on X, featuring Varma and Ram Charan sharing laughs and insights.

Impressed by the screenplay’s depth—exploring not just games but personal triumphs and relationships—Varma offered glowing feedback. Crew insiders say his endorsement was a morale booster, affirming the film’s potential to resonate widely.

The highlight? Ram Charan presenting Varma with a personalized ‘Peddi’ cricket bat, signed with flair. Varma addressed the team in fluent Telugu, wishing them blockbuster success. Such gestures bridge the gap between cricket pitches and movie sets, delighting fans.

With Janhvi Kapoor leading opposite Charan, and powerhouses like Shiv Rajkumar and Boman Irani in key roles, ‘Peddi’ is poised for a grand April 30 debut. Varma’s visit adds invaluable buzz, proving sports dramas are the next big wave in Indian cinema.
