Ram Charan's hilarious mix-ups

Just recently, Ram made headlines for his hilarious, not one but two, slip-ups during the music launch event of Peddi in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

Ram accidentally called Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah a"footballer".

And if that wasn't enough, he also ended mixing up Bihar and Bhopal and addressed the Bhopal crowd as "people of Bihar".

The accidental double trouble created by Ram sent the internet into a hilarious frenzy as the genuine confusion soon turned into a huge meme fest.

Meanwhile, Peddi is set to release on June 4 in theatres.
