Peddi release date postponed again days after Ram Charan assured otherwise, new release window announced

Amid rumours that Buchi Babu Sana's sports drama Peddi will be postponed, a new release date for the Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor-starrer was announced.

Recently, rumours surfaced that Buchi Babu Sana’s sports drama Peddi will not hit screens on April 30, after being postponed once from its initial March release. Despite lead star Ram Charan assuring earlier this month that the film’s release would not be delayed, the team announced a postponment on Wednesday.

Peddi new release date announced

The Peddi team released press notes on social media, stating that the film's release has been pushed to June. The note reads: “Firstly, thank you all for the wonderful response to our songs and glimpses. We're truly happy to see the love and excitement for Peddi. The talkie part of the film is complete, and we only have one song left to be shot. We've seen the edit of the film, and we're extremely happy with the output.”

It further reads: “With such great content in our hands, we want to present it in the best possible way. For that, we feel it's important to give our technicians and post-production team a little more time to bring out their best with absolute perfection. It is our duty to give you nothing but the best theatrical experience. So, we've decided to push the release of the film to June.” The team, however, did not announce an exact date yet, writing, “The exact date will be announced very soon. Thank you for your continued support and patience. It truly means a lot to us.”

When Ram Charan assured no postponement

Earlier in April, Ram was promoting his cousin's sister, Niharika Konidela’s production, Rakasa. In a promotional video, he addressed rumours of the film’s postponement when he said, “It was the last day of talkie today, we wrapped up the film today. In case anyone’s feeling otherwise, it’s done. The talkie is done, and we have only one song left to shoot.” He also said later in the video, “Everyone, please promote that Peddi isn’t postponed. I’ve been hearing this rumour lately, but don’t worry, because the shooting is done.”

Initially, Peddi was supposed to be released on March 27, just days after Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge would hit the screens. However, the release was postponed to April 30 in February, with Ram writing, “#PEDDI will see you on 30th APRIL, 2026.”

Peddi is directed by Buchi Babu Sana of Uppena fame and produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, and co-produced by Ishan Saksena under IVY Entertainment, and presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings. Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, and Jagapathi Babu also star in the film with music by AR Rahman.
