Controversy
Controversy surrounding 'Peddi'
After its theatrical release, Peddi faced criticism for allegedly objectifying Kapoor's character.
The backlash forced the makers to modify the controversial scenes.
Sana said in a statement, "I have always had immense respect for women, both on and off screen, and it was never our intention to objectify or disrespect any female character."
"If any part of the film has been perceived that way, we respect those sentiments, understand the concerns being raised, and sincerely apologize."
On-set injury
Charan's injury during filming
During the filming of Peddi, Charan suffered an eye injury that required eight stitches.
His father and actor Chiranjeevi revealed at the film's success party that Charan could have lost his eye had it been a little lower.
Despite this setback, Charan continued to work hard on his role in the film.
