Director Buchi Babu Sana has reportedly finalized Shruti Haasan for the special song in Ram Charan‘s Peddi, concluding the prolonged search that generated significant buzz over the past few weeks. The Buchi Babu Peddi song shoot is expected to commence on April 24.
Special songs have become a strategic commercial tool in Telugu cinema, particularly in Sukumar’s films where they often emerge as chartbusters. Buchi Babu is planning a mass-oriented number designed to recreate that impact and amplify theatrical excitement for Peddi.
The Casting Process
The selection went through multiple rounds. Mrunal Thakur was initially approached but reportedly declined the offer. The team then considered Manasa Varanasi and Samyuktha Menon before settling on Shruti Haasan.
The extensive deliberation for what is technically a guest appearance has raised fan expectations about the song’s scale and its role in the film’s overall appeal.
Why Shruti Haasan Works
Shruti Haasan brings proven special song credentials, having featured in Aagadu‘s popular number. Crucially, she has previously shared screen space with Ram Charan in Yevadu, which means an existing chemistry that could enhance the visual appeal of this eagerly awaited sequence.
