Ram Charan Transforms Physique with Traditional Training for Film Peddi

Actor Ram Charan underwent a 16-month physical transformation for his film Peddi, adopting a 'Desi Pehalwan' look rather than a conventional 'Greek God' physique. Under trainer Rakkesh R. Uddiyar, his regimen combined weight training, fasting cardio, functional movement, traditional kushti exercises, and tools like the gada and Surya Namaskar. A strict vegetarian diet with carb cycling supported the process, managed by a dedicated team to ensure precision. The film features three distinct on-screen transformations, with the final look described as a surprise.
