The weeks-long suspense surrounding the special dance number in Peddi has finally reached its conclusion. Actress Shruti Haasan has been officially finalised to perform alongside Ram Charan in this much-talked-about special song, set to tune by AR Rahman. The multilingual actress will begin filming the sequence in Hyderabad within the next few days.
This particular song has been at the centre of media speculation for weeks. Numerous names were linked to the project before the final casting was locked. Initially, rumours suggested that Mrunal Thakur would take the spot, though she chose to remain silent on the matter despite being asked during an event. Later reports mentioned Nayan Sarika and Manasa Varanasi as potential choices (these options did not seem very credible from the start). As recently as two days ago, Samyuktha Menon of Virupaksha fame was rumoured to be the frontrunner. Shruti Haasan eventually emerged as the confirmed choice for the role. This marks a notable reunion for the pair, who previously shared screen space in the 2014 hit Yevadu.
Shruti’s previous special appearances:
Shruti Haasan is no stranger to such musical sequences. She previously delivered a memorable performance in the special song Madhubala from the film Tevar. She has also appeared in special roles in popular films like Vakeel Saab and Hi Nanna. Her video appearances include the Semmozhi Anthem, which was also composed by Rahman. Inimel, in which she appeared alongside Lokesh Kanagaraj, was released in 2024. The actress, whose biggest recent release is Prabhas’ Salaar, is expected to deliver energetic dance moves.
Peddi set for June release
The film Peddi is currently one of the most discussed projects in the industry. It features a stellar cast, including Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead and Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar in a pivotal role. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film is slated for a grand theatrical release in June.
