The sports action drama directed by Buchi Babu Sana recently grabbed attention after its trailer received a massive response online. The Telugu version of the trailer is trending strongly and has crossed more than 100 million views. While the film itself carries huge expectations, reports now suggest that the makers are preparing for one of the biggest pre-release events ever seen in Indian cinema with expensive musical equipment, grand stage setups and a live performance by AR Rahman.
Are Peddi makers planning a grand musical event?
According to reports by Telugu entertainment portal Gulte, the makers are planning a large-scale musical event on May 23 at the BHEL Dussehra Ground in Bhopal ahead of the film’s release. The event is expected to bring together the entire cast and crew, including Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman is also expected to perform live during the evening, which has become one of the biggest talking points around the event.

While there has been no official confirmation from the makers regarding the exact figures the scale being discussed has already surprised many film fans online.
Is the event bigger than Animal’s budget?
