Ram Charan has dedicated eight months to an intense physical and spiritual transformation for his upcoming film ‘Peddi’. Director Buchi Babu Sana revealed that the actor trains daily, focusing on body language and posture along with building muscles. Charan maintained his peak physique by following a pure vegetarian diet during his training period Ayyappa Deeksha, where he showed remarkable discipline. This commitment has impressed the industry.
Ram Charan is no stranger to reinvention, but what he has done in his upcoming film ‘Peddi’ may be the most physically and spiritually demanding transformation of his career. Director Buchi Babu Sana, who previously directed the blockbuster film ‘Uppena’, revealed that the international star trained almost every day for eight months to build Pehelwan’s authentic physique required for the role, and the preparation went beyond the gym.
Talking about the process, Sana emphasized that building muscles was only one part of the equation, explaining that Ram Charan also had to completely understand the character’s body language, walk, and rough posture to make the transformation look organic on screen.
However, what really stunned the industry was the actor’s refusal to compromise even during Ayyappa Deeksha – a period of strict spiritual adherence during which he maintained his peak physique entirely by following a pure vegetarian diet, without a single break in his training routine.

Talking about the preparation, Buchi Babu Sana said, “For the fitness pehelwan in ‘Peddi’, Ram Charan trained almost every day for eight months.” According to 123Telugu, he added that it is not just about muscles, it is also about matching the nature of the character. “It is not enough to build a body, but the body language, gait and behavior must fit the role,” he explained. The director said that Ram Charan worked hard to give the character a natural and strong tone.
