‘Peddi’ star Ram Charan reacts to growing trend of pre-release online criticism; says, ‘We can only do what is in our control’

Recently, many movies have faced negative comments on social media long before audiences got a chance to watch them in theatres. As Ram Charan is gearing up for his upcoming film, ‘Peddi’, the actor shared his thoughts on the growing trend of people judging films even before they are released.In a conversation with IANS, the actor said he does not spend much time thinking about such opinions and prefers to focus on his own work. When asked about people writing off films without watching them, Ram Charan said, “I don't have an opinion on this. We can only do what is in our control.”Ram Charan explained that some things are beyond a filmmaker’s control. According to him, the most important thing is to remain sincere and dedicated to the work being done. He said, “I don't like to comment on something which is beyond my capacity to understand or control. I have to do my job. I'm both happy. We are sincere and very happy at the end of the day. And everybody doesn't need to like our work. But I hope everybody appreciates it at least. They don't need to like it.”Ram Charan was last seen in the political drama movie, ‘Game Changer’ directed by Shankar. The film marked his first outing as a lead after the global success of ‘RRR’. Although the film was released with much hype it turned out to be a big failure at the box office. ‘Peddi’ is directed by Buchi Babu Sana and the film features Ram Charan in the role of a crossover athlete who excels in cricket, wrestling and sprinting.The movie also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Jagapathi Babu, Shiva Rajkumar, Divyenndu and Boman Irani in key roles.‘Peddi’ is now set to hit theatres on June 4.
