Kangana Ranaut Addresses Concerns Over Portrayal of Women in Peddi Following Backlash
Photo Collected
Director Buchi Babu Sana’s upcoming sports action drama “Peddi” has ignited a heated debate over its portrayal of lead actress Janhvi Kapoor. Critics and audiences have raised concerns regarding the film’s visual framing and camera angles, which many argue render Kapoor’s character, “Achiyamma,” unnecessarily hyper-sexualized. These criticisms have been further amplified by specific dialogue within the script that explicitly focuses on the character’s physical appearance, sparking a broader conversation about the objectification of women in mainstream cinema.
Addressing these concerns, actress Kangana Ranaut weighed in on the controversy during a promotional event for her upcoming film “Bharat Bhagya Vidhata,” as reported by the Press Trust of India (PTI). When asked if she imposes specific boundaries when selecting roles to avoid such portrayals, the outspoken actress suggested that creators rarely intend to demean their female subjects.

According to Ranaut, cinema is an inherently collaborative medium, and it is incumbent upon performers to voice concerns if a scene appears problematic or prone to misinterpretation. She emphasized that the creative process is fluid, and scenes that seem appropriate on paper can sometimes be perceived differently once translated to the screen.
Ranaut maintained that actors have both the agency and the responsibility to suggest adjustments during production if they believe a sequence crosses a line. She argued that once a project is underway, the creative vision becomes a collective effort, and open communication between directors, writers, and cast members remains the most effective tool to prevent the objectification of characters.
