Shruti Haasan has been making headlines ever since her song 'Sanchari' turned into a massive hit. She lent her voice to the track for the prestigious film Varanasi, directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. With music composed by MM Keeravani, the song received widespread appreciation, and Shruti even performed it live at a grand event in Varanasi a few months ago.
Now, the actress is back in the spotlight, having been roped in for a special song opposite Ram Charan in the much-anticipated film Peddi. Slated as one of the biggest releases of 2026, the film has been steadily building strong buzz across the country.
The film features an impressive ensemble cast, including Janhvi Kapoor and Jagapathi Babu in key roles, and has consistently stayed in the news. Its music album, in particular, has struck a chord with audiences, delivering back-to-back chartbusters and adding to the excitement.
Adding to the hype, Shruti Haasan — one of the most sought-after names in pan-India cinema — is set to feature in a high-energy dance number, which is currently being filmed. Her inclusion comes after her association with other big-ticket projects like Varanasi, further underlining her growing presence in major productions.
The music of Peddi has already become a major talking point. The first single, 'Chikiri Chikiri', crossed an impressive 200 million views across platforms, setting a blockbuster tone. Following that, the second single, 'Rai Rai Raa Raa', offered a completely different vibe with its energetic beats and striking choreography. The song has gone viral, clocking over 65 million views on YouTube and continuing to build momentum for the film.
Written and directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi stars Ram Charan in the lead role, alongside Shiva Rajkumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Divyendu Sharma, and Jagapathi Babu. The film is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, in association with Mythri Movie Makers, and is scheduled for release on June 4, 2026.
