Game Changer Producer Issues Apology After His Comment On Ram Charan: 'Didn't Mean To Offend'
Despite Game Changer's box office disappointment, Ram Charan has already moved on to his next ventures. He is currently shooting for Peddi. Game Changer, starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, may have failed to deliver at the box office, but the controversy surrounding the film continues to escalate. Recently, producer Shirish Reddy landed in hot water after comments he made about Ram Charan sparked backlash from fans. In a viral statement, Shirish had reportedly claimed that Ram Charan had not contacted the team after the film's release. The remark triggered strong reactions from the actor's admirers and quickly became a talking point on social media. Following the uproar, Shirish issued a clarification, apologising for the misunderstanding and expressing his admiration for the actor. 'We had the full support and time of 'Global Star' Ram Charan for Game Changer. We have a close relationship with the family of Megastar Chiranjeevi Garu, and we would never say anything that would damage their reputation. I truly apologise if anything I said offended anyone," he said in a new statement. He also reiterated that there was no intention to question Ram Charan's professionalism or commitment to the project, which was directed by Shankar. Veteran producer Dil Raju, who is Shirish's cousin, also addressed the matter. He stepped in to clarify that Shirish was speaking publicly for the first time and had become emotional while discussing the financial loss caused by the film's underperformance. 'Shirish was speaking publicly for the first time. He used words that were misinterpreted because he was overcome by the circumstances. His statement was made without malice," Dil Raju explained. Despite Game Changer's box office disappointment, Ram Charan has already moved on to his next ventures. He is currently shooting for Peddi, which co-stars Janhvi Kapoor and is helmed by Uppena director Buchi Babu Sana. The actor is also expected to reunite with Rangasthalam director Sukumar for a new project. More details on the upcoming collaboration are awaited. First Published: July 02, 2025, 21:49 IST

‘Peddi is more exciting than Rangasthalam, RRR': Ram Charan makes big claim about film with Janhvi Kapoor
Two of Ram Charan's films, Rangasthalam and RRR, changed the trajectory of his career. Sukumar and SS Rajamouli's films proved that he was a performer and not just a star. And now, the actor has made big claims about his upcoming film Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, that have gotten fans excited. (Also Read: Dil Raju clarifies, Shirish apologises for saying Ram Charan didn't call after Game Changer box office debacle) Ram Charan plays a cricketer in Buchi Babu Sana's Peddi; a film he states he's most excited about. In May this year, Ram Charan was in London, UK, for the unveiling of his Madame Tussauds wax statue. The same day, he attended a fan meet after the unveiling, and a video of his speech has now surfaced on social media. In the video, Ram calls Peddi the most 'exciting' project he's done, claiming that it's better than Rangasthalam and RRR. He said, 'I hope everyone liked the Peddi glimpse. I think it's one of the most riveting scripts I've done. Probably, it's more exciting than Rangasthalam and RRR. I don't say this for every film I do. So, you note this down today.' About Peddi Peddi is a rustic sports drama directed by Buchi, who debuted in Tollywood with the hit film Uppena. Uppena explored a tale of caste disparity and love and starred Ram's cousin Vaisshnav Tej and Krithi Shetty. Peddi is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru and also stars Shiva Rajkumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Divyendu Sharma, and Jagapathi Babu. AR Rahman is composing music for the film, which is slated for release on 27 March 2026. The film officially went on floors in 2024. The first glimpse of Peddi was released in April this year. The glimpse shows Ram stepping onto dusty ground as people cheer for him. He smokes a beedi and talks about how he has only one life to live and wants to make the most of it. 'Edaina ee nela mida unnapude seseyala (I must do whatever I want as long as I'm alive),' he says. It doesn't reveal much, but it ends with Ram playing cricket and hitting it out of the park. Ram has also said yes to a film by Sukumar, their second after Rangasthalam. It has yet to go on floors.
