Speculation is mounting that Ram Charan's Peddi may see a change in its planned theatrical release date, March 27, 2026, Ram Charan's birthday. The film is currently slated to hit screens on March 27, 2026, but industry buzz suggests the makers could consider a postponement due to the March 19 release of Dhurandhar 2 in the Hindi belt. Yash Toxic is also announced on the same date.
Trade circles believe Dhurandhar 2 could dominate the box office for weeks, prompting concerns over a potential clash impacting Peddi's prospects. As a result, the makers are reportedly planning to release the film on May 1, and an official update is expected soon. The film is in the final stages of shooting, with the first half footage already sent to A R Rahman for background score composition.
The team is aiming to wrap up the talkie portions by the end of January, with the remaining two songs scheduled to be shot in February. The entire shoot is expected to conclude by March 1, followed by promotions in March. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead and is being bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers.
While no official announcement has been made, fans will have to wait for clarity from the makers as speculation continues to swirl around one of the most anticipated Telugu films of 2026.
