Ram Charan recalled his discussion with Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding his forthcoming film Peddi at a press conference in New Delhi on Thursday.

The film, scheduled for release on June 4, centres on the challenges faced by a rural village and its empowerment.

During the press event, Ram Charan said he informed the Prime Minister that the film is about “evolved India” and “empowering our villages.” He added, “The last time I met our Honourable Prime Minister Modi ji in Delhi, he asked me what Peddi was about. I told him it’s about an evolved India and empowering our villages. Modi ji then shared a story from West Bengal, where decades ago a footballer from a small village represented India, and today over 85 people from that same village play football.”

The actor met PM Modi last year alongside his wife Upasana Konidela and father-in-law Anil Kamineni during the Archery Premier League tournament in 2025. Ram Charan, who was in the national capital for the Archery Premier League’s celebration event, posted photographs of the meeting on X and expressed his honour at meeting the Prime Minister.

He wrote, “Honoured to meet Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji the success of the world’s first Archery Premier League, led by Anil Kamineni Garu. This is our small step to preserve the legacy of archery and promote it worldwide. Congratulations to all the athletes. We hope many more will join this incredible sport.”
