Peddi: Shruti Haasan to Feature in Dance Number for Ram Charan’s Film, Replacing Mrunal Thakur

It looks like Shruti Haasan will be in a special dance number for Ram Charan's movie Peddi, instead of Mrunal Thakur. The plan is to film it in Hyderabad in April 2026. This little part for Shruti could get people much more excited about the film before it comes out, especially since AR Rahman is doing the music. Peddi is a sports-action movie with a country setting, and is meant to be in theaters by June 2026.

A new report says that Shruti Haasan will probably do the dancing in Ram Charan’s Peddi, if the report is true. Gulte says the team is getting Shruti ready for a special song, and they’re planning to film it on April 26, 2026 in Hyderabad. There’s no official word on this yet, but people are talking about it.

Shruti Haasan tipped for Peddi’s special song

A more recent report says Shruti Haasan will likely have a quick appearance in Peddi through a dance. This scene hasn’t been filmed yet, and could be shot later this month in Hyderabad, depending on the filming schedule.

The talk about this comes after people said Mrunal Thakur would be doing this same dance scene. According to the report, she’s now decided not to do it, and that’s why Shruti is being considered. The people making the film haven’t said anything about changing the actress.

What the report says

Here are the key claims attributed to Gulte’s report:

– Shruti Haasan is likely to do a cameo

– The cameo is a special dance number

– Shoot may begin on April 26, 2026

– Hyderabad is the reported location

– No official word from the makers

A sports action drama with a rural pulse

Peddi is a big sports-action film based around a cricket competition in a rural area. Ram Charan is the main character in a story that is down to earth and should be very popular with the audience.

Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Divyendu Sharma, Jagapathi Babu, and Boman Irani are also in the film. Buchi Babu Sana wrote and directed Peddi, and Venkata Satish Kilaru and Ishan Saksena are producing it for Vriddhi Cinemas and IVY Entertainment. AR Rahman is composing the soundtrack.

For those tracking the core team, here are the headline credits:

– Director: Buchi Babu Sana

– Lead: Ram Charan

– Music: AR Rahman

– Producers: Venkata Satish Kilaru, Ishan Saksena

Release plan shifts and where the film stands

The date Peddi will be released has changed a few times. It was first going to be on March tth, 2026, then April 30th, and now June 2026. Some say it might be June 25th in theaters, but the film’s creators haven’t said for sure.

Fans have recently gotten a short look at something from the film for Ram Charan’s birthday. In the clip, he’s very strong and looks like a wrestler, holding a heavy club, which shows how tough and physical the movie will be. The team also said they expect to finish filming in just a few more days.

If this special song happens as reported, it will likely be one of the very last things they film. That makes the talk about Shruti Haasan being in it more important than just a normal rumor about a cameo.

Why this cameo talk matters now

The timing of this is important. Because Peddi is aiming for a June 2026 release, a popular song with a famous star can get more people to notice it before it’s out, and get more people to listen to the music online. And with AR Rahman involved, a well-known dance song could be the main focus of the film’s music promotion.

It also answers what fans have been wondering about this cameo after all the different reports. The fact that it went from Mrunal Thakur to Shruti Haasan suggests the filmmakers are trying to make the biggest splash possible. For now, it’s all just a report, until the film’s official people say something.

What is next for Ram Charan

After Peddi, Ram Charan is going to work with Sukumar again. This project is currently called RC17, and it will be their second film together after Rangasthalam.

Right now, everyone is watching as Peddi gets finished. If the special song is confirmed and the June release date stays, Ram Charan’s sports-action movie could be a hit, with both strength and good music. We’ll have to wait for the next official statement from the filmmakers to know for sure what the plans are.
