Because Peddi is not just another upcoming release for him,it is taking him back to Army days with Sridevi,and now he is working with Janhvi Kapoor .
And that connection is actually sweet in very filmy way . Ravi Kishan had worked with Sridevi in 1996 action drama Army,and now in Peddi he shares screen with Janhvi Kapoor and Ram Charan . That kind of full-circle moment does not happen every day ah .
He said,"Having worked with Sridevi (ji) in ‘Army’, it feels special to now work with Janhvi Kapoor in ‘Peddi’.” And honestly,you can feel there is real emotion behind this line,not just standard promotional talk .
What stood out more is how he spoke about Janhvi . He said,“Janhvi is a very talented actress,and at times she reminds me of Sridevi (ji) with her dedication,grace,and sincerity towards her craft . She is carrying forward a beautiful legacy while creating her own path.” This is big praise,especially coming from someone who has actually worked with Sridevi .
Few key things around Peddi:
- Peddi will release on June 4, 2026.
- Film features Ram Charan,Janhvi Kapoor,Ravi Kishan and Boman Irani .
- Peddi is directed by Buchi Babu Sana.
And tbh,this whole thing also shows how Indian cinema keeps joining generations in strange emotional ways . One actor works with mother in 1996,and years later stands in same industry space with daughter . Same world,completely different time.
Ravi Kishan himself has had long journey across Hindi,Bhojpuri,and South Indian cinema . From different industries,different roles,different audiences,he has built his own space . Recently also,his work in Laapataa Ladies and Maamla Legal Hai got lot of appreciation.
But with Peddi,there seems to be something more personal for him only . Not just role or release,but memory of Sridevi,admiration for Janhvi,and feeling of seeing one artistic legacy continuing while new path is also being made.
And now audience will wait to see whether Peddi can carry that emotional weight on screen too,or whether this full-circle feeling will stay more beautiful off screen than inside film itself…
