29 days ago | 5 Views
The upcoming film 'Peddi,' starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor and helmed by director Buchi Babu Sana, is already generating massive excitement, and the recently released song promo has only intensified the buzz. On Wednesday, the filmmakers unveiled a 23-second teaser for the track titled "Chikiri Chikiri," giving fans a glimpse of Ram Charan's high-energy dance moves.
The brief clip, showcasing a distinctive and powerful hookstep, immediately triggered a wave of comparisons online, with many fans drawing parallels between Ram Charan's move and an iconic dance step performed by his legendary father, Chiranjeevi, in the classic film Muta Mestri.
The 'Chikiri Chikiri' Teaser: An AR Rahman Special
The promo for "Chikiri Chikiri" is a sensory treat, primarily due to the master craftsman behind the music: AR Rahman. Known for his innovative and soul-stirring compositions, Rahman's score promises to be a major highlight of Peddi. The song features the melodious vocals of Mohit Chauhan, perfectly complemented by lyrics penned by Balaji.
In the teaser, Ram Charan executes a signature move—a dynamic, squatting hookstep—while dramatically smoking a beedi. The rustic and raw aesthetic of the setting, coupled with the intense movement, creates a striking visual. This blend of classic folk energy with modern cinematic flair is exactly what's fueling the anticipation for the full track.
Note: The hookstep was choreographed by Jani Master, who is currently out on bail regarding a legal matter.
Fans Spot the Legendary Connection to 'Muta Mestri'
What truly captured the fans' attention was the familiarity of the dance move. Many viewers were quick to point out the unmistakable resemblance between Ram Charan's intense step in "Chikiri Chikiri" and a famous sequence featuring his father, the 'Megastar' Chiranjeevi, from his blockbuster hit, Muta Mestri.
Chiranjeevi's filmography is punctuated by legendary, trend-setting dance moves, and the nod to that iconic era in his son's film is a moment of pure fan service. For the audience, this isn't just a new song; it's a touching salute to the cinematic legacy of the family.
Social Media Erupts with Praise for Ram Charan
The reception on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans are re-sharing the clip with fervent enthusiasm, praising Ram Charan's commitment and power.
One enthusiastic fan captured the general sentiment, commenting on the actor's energy: "Peddi movie lo Chikirri beat meeda aa DANCE entannaa (fire emoji) Kondanchuna Beedi thaagi aa STEP entra CHARAN ANNA?! (What is that dance to Chikiri beat in Peddi brother? What is that step on the cliff while smoking beedi?)" Such reactions underline the star power of Ram Charan and the immediate connection the rustic yet energetic hookstep has made with his massive following.
With 'Peddi' slated for release next year, and boasting a powerful combination of a stellar cast, the directorial vision of Buchi Babu Sana, and the musical genius of AR Rahman, the film is poised to be one of the most awaited releases on the horizon. The "Chikiri Chikiri" promo is a thrilling taste of the visual and musical spectacle to come.
