Ram Charan’s much-awaited pan-India sports action drama Peddi has officially locked its worldwide theatrical release for April 30, shifting from the earlier planned March 27 date to tap into the peak summer holiday season. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the Vriddhi Cinemas banner, the film is currently in the final stages of production. With more time in hand, the makers are gearing up for an aggressive promotional push to build momentum across India.
The newly released date announcement poster has taken social media by storm, showcasing Ram Charan in a strikingly raw and massy avatar. Sporting long messy hair, a thick beard, and a nose ring, the actor appears intense and battle-hardened as he walks through a smoky, chaotic crowd. The gritty visual tone of the poster hints at a powerful story rooted in struggle, rebellion, and emotional conflict, while also underlining the film’s larger-than-life scale. Fans have widely praised Ram Charan’s transformed look, calling it one of his most powerful appearances yet.
Peddi has already created massive buzz with its promotional material. The first glimpse and first-look posters generated strong traction across platforms, while the chart-topping single Chikiri Chikiri, composed by AR Rahman, turned into a viral sensation. The song has crossed 200 million views, setting major digital milestones and further boosting expectations around the film. The music, combined with the film’s intense visual world, has positioned Peddi as one of the most anticipated pan-India releases of the year.
The film features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, alongside a strong supporting cast that includes Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyendu Sharma, and Boman Irani in pivotal roles. Ram Charan will be seen in a never-seen-before role, adding to the curiosity surrounding the project. Backed by a top-tier technical team with AR Rahman on music, R Rathnavelu on cinematography, National Award-winning editor Navin Nooli, and production designer Avinash Kolla, Peddi promises a visually rich and emotionally charged cinematic experience.
Set for a grand pan-India release in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, Peddi is expected to make a strong impact at the box office during the summer window. Trade circles are already predicting a big opening, driven by Ram Charan’s star power, the film’s scale, and the sustained buzz around its music and visuals.
