As criticism surrounding Peddi continued to grow, director Buchi Babu Sana addressed the controversy. He explained that the intention behind the scenes involving Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor was to depict a light-hearted and playful romance between their characters.
However, the filmmaker acknowledged that the scenes may not have been received in the way the team intended. He stated that the makers would be more careful in the future and strive for better representation. Despite the growing debate, neither Janhvi Kapoor, Ram Charan, nor the film’s production team has officially commented on the leaked screenshots, which remain unverified.
