Bollywood superstar Ram Charan has issued a public apology to Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah after accidentally referring to him as a footballer during a fun interaction at the *Peddi* song launch event in Bhopal. The incident occurred on May 23, 2026, during a rapid-fire round where Charan was asked to describe several Indian cricket legends in a few words. While his responses about Sachin Tendulkar (“a long, legendary run”), MS Dhoni (“calm and cool”), Rohit Sharma (“everybody’s man”), and Virat Kohli (“Fire”) were met with cheers, his mention of Bumrah took an unexpected turn when he praised the bowler for “taking football so ahead.”
