Alleged leaked chats of Janhvi Kapoor have surfaced online claiming the actor had objected to certain camera angles and scenes in “Peddi” during filming. Authenticity of the chats remains unverified.
The controversy surrounding the film “Peddi” has intensified after alleged private chats of actor Janhvi Kapoor surfaced online, claiming she had repeatedly objected to certain scenes and camera angles during the film’s production.
The screenshots, widely circulated by fan clubs and entertainment pages on social media, appeared online shortly after director Buchi Babu Sana issued a public apology regarding criticism over the film’s portrayal of women. The alleged chats have reignited debate around creative control, consent, and the depiction of female characters in mainstream cinema.
One of the viral screenshots, reportedly dated October 30, allegedly shows Janhvi Kapoor expressing discomfort over specific camera shots. In the alleged message, the actor reportedly wrote, “I told him no b**b & waist shots (sic).”
Another circulating screenshot allegedly claims that co-star Ram Charan had also supported her concerns regarding certain visual portrayals and camera angles used during filming.
The leaked conversations further suggest that the concerns were allegedly directed toward director Buchi Babu Sana and indicate that internal discussions may have taken place during production regarding how Janhvi Kapoor’s character was being visually presented on screen.
In another alleged exchange, the actor reportedly expressed frustration over repeated experiences within the film industry and concerns regarding how scenes could later be filmed, edited, or modified. One of the screenshots also claimed she feared misuse of body doubles and misleading close-up shots during post-production.
The controversy comes amid growing online criticism of “Peddi,” with several viewers accusing the film of focusing excessively on the physical presentation of Janhvi Kapoor’s character instead of giving greater importance to storyline and character development.
Following the backlash, director Buchi Babu Sana recently issued a public statement saying the film’s team had taken audience criticism seriously and would make changes to scenes that drew objections. He added that cinema must evolve with changing audience sensitivities and apologised if any scene caused discomfort or appeared disrespectful.
However, it is important to note that the authenticity of the leaked chats has not been independently verified. Neither Janhvi Kapoor nor her official representatives have publicly confirmed or denied the screenshots currently circulating online.
The issue has sparked fresh debate across social media platforms regarding actor consent, portrayal of women in cinema, filmmaking ethics, and the responsibilities of filmmakers toward audience sensitivities.
