Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s much-anticipated rural sports drama Peddi is gearing up for a grand summer release, with strong indications pointing to April 30, 2026. While the makers are yet to issue a formal announcement, director Buchi Babu Sana has all but confirmed the date by subtly hinting at it on social media, setting off fresh buzz among fans and trade circles.

Originally slated to arrive on March 27, Peddi has moved out of the crowded March window. The newly indicated April 30 slot is seen as a smart and strategic move, placing the film right ahead of a long holiday weekend and giving it ample scope for a strong and sustained box-office run.

A Raw, Rustic Avatar for Ram Charan

Set in 1980s rural Andhra Pradesh, Peddi presents Ram Charan in a never-seen-before avatar as a fiery villager who brings his community together through cricket to challenge a powerful rival force. The film blends rustic emotions, village politics, and high-voltage sports drama, with Ram Charan’s character expected to deliver raw intensity, mass elevation moments, and emotionally charged sequences.

Strong Cast and Musical Buzz

The film stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, marking her second Telugu film. The supporting cast further elevates the scale with Shiva Rajkumar and Jagapathi Babu in crucial roles.

Music director A R Rahman has already struck a chord with the chartbuster “Chikiri Chikiri”, which has gone viral across platforms and significantly boosted the film’s hype ahead of release.

A Big Summer Contender

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, who earlier delivered the blockbuster Uppena, Peddi is shaping up to be one of the biggest theatrical attractions of Summer 2026. With Ustaad Bhagat Singh arriving on March 26 and Biker lined up for April 3, the summer box-office race is clearly heating up. In that crowded landscape, Peddi looks well-positioned to close April on a powerful and impactful note.

All eyes are now on the official announcement, which is expected to arrive soon and lock April 30 as the film’s big date with audiences worldwide.
