&nbsp;&nbsp;Ram Charan’s big film Peddi is facing a serious issue in Telangana before its June 4, 2026 release. Many single screen theatre owners in the state are saying they will not screen the film. The reason is a fight over money sharing. Theatre owners want a percentage system like multiplexes. Right now they pay a fixed rent to play films. They say rent is not enough for them and they are losing money due to staff costs, power bills, and low ticket sales.&nbsp;But top production houses like Mythri Movie Makers, who are behind Peddi, are not agreeing to this change. This has led to a deadlock. At first, only 23 theatres were said to be part of the protest. But now many single screen owners across Telangana say they will join too. If all of them skip the film, Peddi will lose a lot of screens in small towns and cities. These theatres still bring in big crowds, especially for star films.This is a big worry for Ram Charan. After RRR, fans see Peddi as his next big solo hit. Losing screens in his home state can hurt the first day numbers and total box office. People online are talking about the issue and asking both sides to solve it fast. Some say single screens need support to survive. Others feel producers also take huge risks on big films.&nbsp;The makers and theatre owners need to find a middle path soon. If not, Peddi could face a real release problem in Telangana just days before June 4. &nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;The team of Karuppu has sent a strong legal notice after the film was shown without permission in Mumbai, Pune, and other North Indian cities. The issue came up at a press meet by the Tamil Nadu Producers Council. They said the movie was played in some theatres even though the producers did not give a final okay. This has started a big talk about piracy and film safety. Fans online were shocked to see clips from the film come out before release.Dream Warrior Pictures said that QUBE Cinema Technologies wrongly activated KDMs, which are special keys needed to play films in theatres. Because of this, the Tamil version of Karuppu was screened in many places without approval. After these shows, some people recorded scenes on their phones and shared them on social media. Clips started spreading fast on WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, X, YouTube, and torrent sites. The makers warned that sharing or downloading these clips is a crime under copyright and IT laws.The producers said they will take legal action against anyone who shares pirated content from Karuppu. QUBE has accepted the mistake and promised to pay for the damage caused. This is not the first time leaks have hurt a big film, and people online are asking for stronger safety steps during releases.Karuppu stars Suriya and Trisha Krishnan and is directed by R. J. Balaji. It is one of the most awaited Tamil films of 2026 and was planned for a huge release in over 20 countries and 3,000 screens. The piracy issue has made the team more careful, but they are still going ahead as planned. &nbsp;
