Ram Charan Recalls Conversation With PM Modi About 'Peddi'
Ram Charan recalled his interaction with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi over his upcoming film Peddi during the press conference on Thursday in New Delhi. Peddi is Ram Charan's upcoming film, slated to hit theatres on June 4. The film is expected to be based on the challenges in a rural village and its empowerment.
While adressing the media at the press conference on Thursday, Ram Charan recalled his conversation with PM Modi, saying that he told the Prime Minister that his upcoming film is about "evolved India" and "empowering villages." "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," he said.
