Chikiri Chikiri: Ram Charan and AR Rahman Deliver a Musical Marvel with Peddi’s First Single

The wait is finally over! The first single ‘Chikiri Chikiri’ from Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s highly anticipated rustic action drama Peddi has taken the internet by storm, receiving an overwhelming response within hours of its release. The lyrical promo has set the tone for what promises to be a chartbuster album, blending earthy charm with Rahman’s signature magic.

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, who won hearts with his musical sensibility in Uppena, Peddi marks a dream collaboration with Academy Award-winning composer AR Rahman. The director’s admiration for Rahman and his passion for emotionally resonant music shine through in every frame of the promo. Rahman, deeply moved by the song’s situation, has crafted a composition that beautifully mirrors the film’s soul—raw, joyful, and deeply rooted in emotion.

Produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas and prestigiously presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, Peddi is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious projects in Indian cinema.

The song captures the tender yet electrifying moment when Peddi, a man of the mountains, lays eyes on his Chikiri for the first time. His admiration and innocence pour out as he celebrates her beauty through dance and song. Lyricist Balaji has penned words that beautifully express this mix of awe and affection, turning emotions into poetry.

AR Rahman’s composition is a masterclass in fusion — combining rustic folk rhythms with modern, pulsating beats that stay with you long after the music fades. Mohit Chauhan’s powerful and soulful vocals breathe life into the tune, while Jani Master’s choreography infuses it with uncontainable energy.

Ram Charan steals the show with his effortless charisma and infectious joy. Every move, every expression radiates authenticity — it’s not just performance, it’s pure celebration. His signature hook step is already trending across social media, setting the stage for countless dance reels and fan recreations.

Adding to the magic, Janhvi Kapoor’s graceful introduction is simply breathtaking. The moment she lifts the lamp and reveals her look is cinematic brilliance — her beauty and poise lighting up every frame that follows.

With its addictive rhythm, captivating visuals, and sheer vibrance, Chikiri Chikiri is poised to become a Pan-India sensation, a song that bridges tradition and modernity while celebrating love in its purest form.

The film also features Kannada superstar Shiva Rajkumar in a powerful role, along with Jagapathi Babu, Divyendu Sharma, and Boman Irani in key performances.

Cinematography by R. Rathnavelu and editing by National Award-winner Navin Nooli promise a visual spectacle that complements the grandeur of Rahman’s soundscape.

With such a powerhouse team and a smashing first single, Peddi has announced its arrival in style. The film is slated for a Pan-India theatrical release on March 27, 2026, coinciding with Ram Charan’s birthday — and if Chikiri Chikiri is any indication, fans are in for a musical and emotional treat of epic proportions.
