Mega Powerstar Ram Charan’s Peddi is racing toward the finish line, with the shoot now in its final stretch. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, this rural sports drama stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead.
After missing its initial March window and slipping past April, the film is now firmly eyeing a June release. Adding to the momentum, a special song featuring Ram Charan and Shruti Haasan is currently being shot in Hyderabad, hinting at a major visual highlight in the film.
But the biggest moment came off screen. At the Telugu pre release event of Dhanush’s Kara, Buchi Babu Sana found himself in an unexpected situation. The moment he stepped on stage, the crowd shifted focus entirely, chanting and pushing for an update on Peddi. Despite being there for Kara, the director could barely get a word in about the film or Dhanush. What followed turned the event into a Peddi moment.
Trying to hold the suspense, Buchi Babu initially teased that a “big treat” was coming in June. But the crowd refused to settle. As the pressure mounted and chants grew louder, the director finally gave in, confirming that Peddi will release on June 25, 2026.
The spontaneous reveal instantly electrified fans, turning anticipation into celebration. With the shoot almost wrapped, the focus now shifts to promotions, which are expected to kick off soon in a big way.
Fueling the hype further is the music of A. R. Rahman, whose compositions have already struck a chord. The film also features a strong supporting cast including Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu Sharma, and Boman Irani.
Backed by Vriddhi Cinemas and presented by Mythri Movie Makers in association with Sukumar Writings, Peddi is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated pan Indian releases of the season.
Swayambhu has been facing multiple delays, keeping it in the news for a while now. The film was initially slated for an April 10 release, but it got postponed due to pending post-production work.
There were also reports that it might take over the April release slot of Peddi, but that hasn’t happened either. The latest update suggests that the film’s extensive CG work is still incomplete.
Award-winning cinematographer K. K. Senthil Kumar is personally overseeing the graphics process, which is said to be massive in scale.
This has resulted in further delays, as the team is taking extra care to ensure quality. With no official release date announced yet, Swayambhu continues to remain under production pressure.
