While Mega fans celebrate record views, netizens are fiercely trolling it, alleging direct similarities to Salman Khan’s ‘Sultan’ and Kiccha Sudeep’s ‘Pailwaan’. Critics claim the wrestling warrior depiction rehashes old tropes, sparking intense debate about originality.
Copycat Claims Spark Fan Fury
The glimpse of ‘Peddi Pehalwan’, released as a birthday gift for Ram Charan, has become the center of controversies. While it’s soaring with record views, netizens are trolling it as a copy story, sparking a strong response from Mega fans. Allegations are rife that the glimpse, featuring Charan as a wrestling warrior, is not an original story but a clear copy, igniting a fan war on social media. Netizens claim the 44-second glimpse appears to be an exact copy of Salman Khan’s ‘Sultan’ and Kiccha Sudeep‘s ‘Pailwaan’. They relentlessly criticize, saying, “The same mud, the same elevation, the same body language… Buchibabu, who showed novelty in Uppena, has simply ground old films in a mixer here.” They particularly tear into the film, stating that the mace-wielding stunts have also been seen in many previous films.
However, Mega fans are not backing down from these copycat allegations against ‘Peddi’. They are silencing the trolls by stating, “Wrestling is played in sand, not in offices in front of computers, right!” Mega fans are fuming, arguing that such comparisons are natural when the story is about a wrestling player, judging the entire film based on a small teaser is foolish, and that such propaganda is being spread out of envy for Charan’s hard work and his look.
Beyond the copy claims, confusion surrounds the film ‘Peddi’ due to its portrayal of multiple sports. In the initial days of film updates, posters showed Charan holding a cricket bat. Now he’s making a splash in a Pehalwan avatar. The dialogue, “Wrestling is not a game where you face the ball with a bat… it’s a game where you face death with your life,” clearly indicates that this is a multi-sports drama. However, trade pundits are strongly warning that showing so many sports in one film could risk making the story a ‘khichdi’ (a hodgepodge or mess).
Multi-Sport Mix: A ‘Khichdi’ Risk?
Regarding the film’s release, makers announced it would arrive as a summer treat on April 30th, but movie lovers are still in a dilemma about whether it will actually be released.
Overall, while Charan’s muscular physique and authentic local dialogue delivery are plus points for the film, the ‘copycat’ tag is turning into a minus. Only time will tell what kind of fight Charan will put up with ‘Peddi’ in theaters and how many box office records he will shatter. All in all, ‘Peddi’ is embroiled in controversies even before its release. The copy allegations and expectations about the story are collectively increasing interest in the film. We have to wait and see what happens.
Looking Ahead
Despite the ‘copy’ allegations, Peddi’s pre-release buzz is undeniable, escalating curiosity around Ram Charan‘s efforts. The challenge is real, but so is the hype. Will Charan’s ‘Peddi’ truly deliver a unique punch and shatter records, or will the controversy overshadow its roar? The box office will have the final say.
