Director Buchi Babu Sana has responded to criticism over Janhvi Kapoor’s portrayal in Peddi and said the team will make changes to the concerned portions.

Peddi Makers Respond To Criticism

The makers of Peddi have come under criticism after a section of viewers objected to the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor’s character in the film. Many online reactions claimed that the female lead was not handled with enough sensitivity, leading to a wider debate on women’s representation in commercial cinema.

Buchi Babu Issues Statement

Director Buchi Babu Sana has now responded to the controversy through a detailed statement. He said cinema should entertain and connect with audiences, but should never make anyone feel uncomfortable or disrespected. The director also said the feedback regarding certain scenes had been taken seriously.

Changes To Concerned Portions

The filmmaker clarified that the intention was never to objectify or disrespect any female character. He apologised to those who felt hurt by the scenes and confirmed that the team has decided to make changes to the concerned portions of Peddi. This move has now become a major talking point among Telugu cinema audiences.

Debate Around Female Characters

The controversy has also opened a larger discussion on how female leads are written and presented in big-star films. While commercial cinema often depends on mass appeal, audiences are increasingly questioning scenes that appear to reduce women characters to glamour or reaction shots.

A Sensitive Step From The Team

Buchi Babu’s response may help reduce the backlash, but the real impact will depend on how the makers revise the film. For now, the Peddi row has become another reminder that audience feedback can strongly influence film discussions after release.
