Charan tore 7 muscles while shooting for 'Peddi'
In a conversation with India Today, Charan revealed that he injured himself three to four days before shooting the wrestling scene. He initially avoided getting an MRI, fearing it would affect his performance. "It was one tear, but now it's seven tears because of the 20 days of shoot," he said. Despite this setback, he remained determined to finish the film on time for its Thursday release. Peddi also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Boman Irani, Shiva Rajkumar, and Divyenndu.
