Ram Charan's upcoming rural sports action drama, Peddi, has become 2026's biggest Telugu business film, with its pre-release business crossing ₹200 crore for the Telugu version alone. The film's overseas rights have been sold for a staggering ₹40 crore, marking one of the biggest international deals for a Telugu film this year.
The film's pre-release business breakdown reveals impressive deals, including ₹12.60 crore for East Godavari and ₹6.30 crore for Nellore. With such massive demand in distribution circles, Peddi is on track to surpass ₹200 crore in pre-release business, cementing Ram Charan's star power at the box office.
Peddi's overseas business is three times that of Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh, which sold for ₹13 crore. The film's success is attributed to its captivating promotional content and A.R. Rahman's music, which has been a major driver of pre-release buzz.
The second single, Rai Rai Raa Raa, is releasing today, following the chartbuster first single Chikiri Chikiri. Fans are eagerly awaiting the film's release on April 30, 2026. With its massive pre-release business and impressive deals, Peddi is set to be one of the biggest Telugu films of 2026.
