Telugu market leads the charge
The Telugu version of Peddi is clearly driving most of the business. The film has secured 4,757 shows in Telugu, followed by 2,785 shows in Hindi. Other regional versions include 557 shows in Tamil, 157 shows in Kannada and 150 shows in Malayalam.
Ticket sales also reflect this trend. Nearly 3,90,036 tickets have already been sold for the Telugu version, while the Hindi version has crossed 10,198 tickets. The highest occupancy has been reported in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands at 57 percent, followed by Andhra Pradesh at 33 percent and Telangana at 29 percent.
Overseas market adds strong support
Internationally, Peddi is also showing encouraging signs. The film’s premiere sales in the United States are close to $800,000 which is approximately Rs 6.7 crore. Overall advance sales in North America have crossed $882,000 which is roughly Rs 7.4 crore. Trade experts believe the overseas market could play a key role in shaping the film’s opening performance, especially if positive word-of-mouth follows the initial release.
What is Peddi about?
Peddi is directed by Buchi Babu Sana and features Ram Charan in a sports-based role that revolves around identity struggle through competition and athletic challenges. The film includes elements of cricket, wrestling and running, showcasing the actor in a physically demanding avatar.
The cast also includes Janhvi Kapoor, Dr. Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu and Divyendu Sharma. The film is expected to deliver a mix of emotional storytelling and sports drama with large-scale visuals. Peddi is scheduled for theatrical release on June 4, 2026. The film will face a box office clash with Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, making the opening weekend even more crucial for both films.
Why Peddi is generating so much buzz?
The strong advance booking numbers reflect rising excitement around Ram Charan’s opting something he has never done before. With solid regional support and growing overseas interest, the film is positioned for a powerful opening. However, its long-term performance will depend on audience feedback after release and how well it connects beyond its core Telugu market.
