Jahnvi Kapoor In Peddi Trailer Gets Poor Reviews

19 May, 2026 12:19 IST|Sakshi Post

The recently released trailer of Peddi has become a major talking point among movie lovers, especially because of the way Janhvi Kapoor was presented on screen. Many viewers felt that the actress was showcased mostly through glamorous visuals rather than revealing much about her actual character in the film.

Director Buchi Babu Sana appeared to focus heavily on Janhvi Kapoor’s stylish appearance in the trailer, with several shots highlighting her glamour quotient. This surprised fans because, during the trailer launch event, Ram Charan had praised Janhvi’s performance, dance skills, and acting abilities, describing her role as one of the movie's major highlights. However, the trailer itself did not reveal many performance-oriented scenes featuring the actress.

Why Janhvi Kapoor’s Role Was Limited in the Trailer

According to reports circulating within industry circles, Janhvi Kapoor actually has a significant role in the film. Sources claim the makers intentionally avoided revealing too much about her character in the trailer to maintain suspense and keep the primary focus on Ram Charan’s mass appeal.

There is also speculation that the promotional cut was designed carefully to prevent unnecessary fan theories and social media analysis before the film’s release. Because of this, the trailer reportedly concentrated more on Ram Charan’s action-packed moments instead of showcasing Janhvi’s emotional or performance-heavy scenes.

No Full-Length Romantic Duet?

Another interesting discussion surrounding the film is the possibility that Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor may not have a traditional romantic duet song together. Industry buzz suggests there could be a different narrative reason behind this creative decision, though the makers have not officially confirmed anything yet.

Comparisons With ‘Devara’

Some fans have also compared Janhvi Kapoor’s screen presence in Peddi with her appearance in Devara, where she reportedly had limited screen time and appeared mainly in the latter half of the story.

However, insiders claim Peddi will feature Janhvi from the first half itself, although her role may become less frequent during the second half due to story requirements.

Special Song Featuring Ram Charan, Shruti Haasan and Janhvi Kapoor

Reports further suggest that a special song featuring Ram Charan, Shruti Haasan, and Janhvi Kapoor will appear immediately after the film’s interval sequence.

The song is expected to be officially launched on May 23 during a grand promotional event in Bhopal. The event is also likely to feature a live musical concert by A. R. Rahman, adding more excitement around the film’s promotions.

Big Plans for Pan-India Promotions

The makers of Peddi are reportedly planning an aggressive pan-India promotional campaign. Janhvi Kapoor is expected to play a key role in these promotions as the team aims to attract audiences across multiple languages and regions.

There are also rumours that if Peddi becomes a major success, Janhvi Kapoor could receive more offers opposite leading South Indian stars. Speculation about a possible future collaboration with Allu Arjun is already circulating online, though no official confirmation has been made so far.
