The agricultural sports motion drama \u2018Peddi\u2019, featuring Telugu star Ram Charan within the lead, hit screens on June 4 much to the enjoyment of fans.

Under these circumstances, the director of the film, Buchi Babu Sana has now issued a clarification.<\/p>\n
Taking to his X timeline, he wrote, \u201cAs a filmmaker, I consider cinema should entertain, encourage, and connect with audiences. It should never make anyone feel uncomfortable or disrespected. Now we have heard the feedback regarding certain scenes in Peddi and have taken it seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went on to say, \u201cI actually have all the time had immense respect for ladies, each on and off screen, and it was never our intention to objectify or disrespect any female character. If any a part of the film has been perceived that way, we respect those sentiments, understand the concerns being raised, and sincerely apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saying that after reviewing the feedback, that they had decided to make changes to the concerned portions. \u201cCinema grows through its reference to audiences, and as storytellers, we’ve got a responsibility to be mindful of evolving perspectives and sensitivities,\u201d he said and added, \u201cEvery woman deserves to be respected, valued, and represented with dignity. We remain committed to telling stories that commemorate strong characters and uphold those values. Thanks to everyone who shared their views truthfully and sincerely.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
