Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor is turning heads with her Telugu debut, playing the rustic village belle Acchiyamma in Ram Charan’s period action drama Peddi. In a recent press conference, the actress described the experience as “very special,” highlighting five unforgettable aspects of her journey. First, Janhvi fell in love with Acchiyamma’s grounded personality – a sharp contrast to her usual Bollywood roles – calling the character “hatke” and close to her heart. To bring authenticity to the part, she mastered the Vijayanagaram dialect, even dubbing her own lines in Telugu for the first time. Costumes also played a key role: Janhvi spent weeks draped in traditional half‑sarees, a style emblematic of rural Andhra culture, which helped her slip into the character’s skin. The film’s musical numbers demanded intensive rehearsals, as Janhvi worked on expressions, body language, and dance moves that reflect local traditions. Her admiration for the team shone through when she praised AR Rahman’s soulful score and lauded director Buchi Babu Sana as “the biggest rowdy director.” Most notably, Janhvi declared her on‑screen chemistry with Ram Charan as “cosmic,” calling it one of the greatest honors of her life. Fans can now look forward to seeing Janhvi’s fearless, spirited performance light up the silver screen, as Peddi promises a blend of cultural richness, high‑octane action, and heartfelt storytelling.
