Jagapathi Babu's First Look as Appala Soori Unveiled

The makers of Ram Charan's upcoming film 'Peddi' have shared a new character poster, giving fans a first look at Jagapathi Babu in the film. Jagapathi took to his X account to share the poster, offering a glimpse of his striking new appearance. In the poster, Jagapathi Babu is seen as Appala Soori, a character very different from his usual roles. He appears as an aging man with a worn-out look.
