Ram Charan Defends Janhvi Kapoor Amid Controversy Over Film's Direction
Concerns Raised on Set
Recent reports indicate that Ram Charan intervened during the filming of 'Peddi' to protect leading actress Janhvi Kapoor from inappropriate camera angles.
A source close to Janhvi shared that Ram Charan displayed commendable professionalism on set. As filming commenced, he noticed troubling signs regarding the portrayal of the film's heroine.
When Janhvi voiced her unease about the angles that highlighted her figure, Ram promptly warned the director against such practices. Unfortunately, the director ignored his concerns.
Unawareness of Filming Techniques
It appears that many of the suggestive scenes objectifying Janhvi were filmed without her awareness of the actual content being captured.
The source revealed, 'Janhvi has yet to view the complete film, and neither has Ram Charan. The final cut was completed just hours before its release. Janhvi has only been able to read about and watch snippets of her portrayal in 'Peddi,' which has left her in tears. She confided in her father that she was unaware of the angles used during filming. They would instruct her to wear a bindi for close-ups, while the camera was positioned elsewhere.' This highlights the director's responsibility to ensure a respectful representation of the actress.
Family's Reaction to the Director's Apology
According to the insider, Janhvi's father, Boney Kapoor, is upset with the director Buchi Babu's apology, which failed to acknowledge Janhvi or offer her a sincere apology for the way she was depicted in the film. 'Throughout the filming process, Janhvi was kept in the dark about how she would ultimately appear on screen. Additionally, there was a language barrier, as the director communicated in Telugu, a language Janhvi only understands at a basic level,' the source added.
Impact on Janhvi's Career
This experience has left Janhvi feeling devastated and betrayed, leading to speculation that she may avoid working in Telugu cinema for the foreseeable future.
