Buchi Babu Sana, the director of the Telugu film 'Peddi', has responded to criticism regarding scenes featuring Janhvi Kapoor, which many viewers felt objectified her character. Released on June 4, 2026, the film stars Ram Charan and has been scrutinized for its portrayal of Kapoor as a local politician's daughter. A review in The Hindu highlighted that her character's romantic subplot detracted from the overall narrative, suggesting that her scenes could be removed without significant impact. In light of the backlash, Sana took to social media platform X to express his commitment to audience feedback, stating that cinema should inspire and connect rather than make anyone uncomfortable. He announced plans to alter the problematic scenes, emphasizing his respect for women and acknowledging the concerns raised by viewers. The film, which also features Shivarajkumar, tells the story of a daily wager in a remote village who uses sports to assert his identity. The music is composed by A R Rahman, with cinematography by Rathnavelu.
