Actor Ram Charan celebrated his 40th birthday on March 27, and to mark the occasion, the makers of his upcoming film Peddi unveiled his first look from the movie. While Ram Charan has previously portrayed a rugged character in Rangasthalam, many fans quickly drew comparisons between his Peddi look and Allu Arjun Pushpa: The Rise.
Ram Charan First Look from Peddi Compared to Pushpa
Two posters featuring Ram Charan were released on Thursday, showcasing his intense and rustic appearance.
- In one poster, he is seen lighting a beedi with a fierce gaze.
- In another, he wears a torn shirt while holding a cricket bat.
While fans praised the raw and intense look, several users on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out similarities with Pushpa: The Rise.
One fan compared Peddi’s second poster to Yash KGF: Chapter 1, writing:
“Naku okkadikena meku kuda #Pushpa and #KGFChapter1 first look gurthochinda #Peddi” (Is it just me, or does this remind you of Pushpa and KGF Chapter 1’s first looks?).
Another user commented:
“Heavy Pushpa Vibes Throughout.”
Fans also compared Ram Charan and Allu Arjun’s on-screen intensity, writing:
“Bava Bawmardhi. Same Intensity. #Peddi #RC16 #Pushpa.”
Some fans even edited Peddi and Pushpa first look posters side by side, emphasizing their visual similarities.
Ram Charan Fans Defend Peddi Look
Ram Charan’s fans, however, pointed out that he had already played a rustic role in Rangasthalam (2018), and suggested that Pushpa’s look was inspired by that film.
One fan argued:
“Andharu Pushpa Raj look, Pushpa Raj look antaru endi? Aa Pushpa Raj look ye Chitti Babu di aithe?” (Why is everyone saying it looks similar to Pushpa Raj? When Chitti Babu inspired Pushpa Raj’s look?).
