Describing Ram as “very disciplined”, the trainer tells us, “He used to wake me up around four o'clock. He used to call me and say, ‘Rakkesh, ready, huh? In 5-10 minutes I'll come.’ He's that way.” Talking about their personal equation, Rakkesh compares Ram to Salman and shares, “If you ask me, Ram is as good for me as bhai, Salman bhai. Bombay mein Salman bhai is there for me, and in south Charan is bhai for me.” When asked how different it was to train Ram and Salman, Rakkesh laughs and says, “The difference is one is married, one is not. One has kids and the other is like a kid. Salman Khan is a kid.” The celeb trainer further shares, “Salman is maintaining whatever he's been doing since Maine Pyar Kiya (1989) he's doing the same, the training pattern and he’s eating the same. Salman sir eats food, but he burns it also. He eats everything. But when he trains, he trains intensely." He went on to add, "Har ek bande mein bachha hota hai. Salman sir, when he goes to the farm, he goes on buggies, there are small bikes. He's a nature-friendly guy. Ram Charan sir is also like that.” Talking about Aamir, he states, “Aamir sir is totally different. He's also a very good guy. But I find he's very professional. Agar uss bande ne aapko bol diya 9 baje toh woh gym mein hoga 9 baje. Wakt ka upyog agar koi seekhe toh Aamir se seekhe.”Set to arrive in theatres on June 4, Peddi will see Ram mastering cricket, kushti as well as running. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor.
