Ramoji Film City is active once more. Two major Tollywood productions are beginning significant shooting phases, and the excitement on set is clear. First, Ram Charan’s film, Peddi, has restarted filming in Hyderabad. This current schedule is vital, with several important sequences planned, including some large scenes that will be shot later in Delhi.
The production team expects this phase to run until the end of January. By that time, the parts with extensive dialogue should be finished, moving the movie closer to completion. A senior crew member shared, “This is one of the most crucial schedules. We are filming many emotionally intense and action-packed scenes now. The timeline is tight, but if everything goes as planned, the dialogue segments will be completed by January’s end.”
Ram Charan’s commitment is drawing considerable notice on the set. “His preparation and discipline are proving very helpful. The action scenes have a raw, authentic feel, and he performs them with great accuracy. Honestly, the stunts appear effortless. Everyone is eager to see how viewers respond to this portrayal,” the source added.
Even as filming progresses, post-production work has already begun. Music composition, editing, and background tasks are happening concurrently with the shoot. The strategy is straightforward: keep the progress steady and avoid waiting until principal photography concludes.
Meanwhile, Jr NTR’s upcoming action drama, directed by Prashanth Neel, is also getting ready. Despite whispers of disagreements, a source confirms that filming begins today, December 13, at Ramoji. And no, Bollywood star Kajol is not part of the movie, putting those rumors to rest. NTR will be paired with Rukumi Vasanth from Kantara 2, introducing a romantic element to the action-filled story.
NTR even paused his work on Dragon briefly to build muscle for his new character. “Prashanth Neel has crafted a rugged, imposing appearance for NTR. Fans can expect an intense action experience,” the source stated.
Here’s an interesting development: Neel, who typically omits songs, is reportedly planning a special musical sequence featuring NTR and a leading actress. Imagine a hit song similar to Oo Antava from Pushpa. This single song could require two to three months of filming, adding glamour and widespread appeal to the movie. With both productions underway at Ramoji, Tollywood enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks.
