The release of Ram Charan's anticipated upcoming Telugu film Peddi has been pushed to June. In a statement, the makers of the film announced that they were working on the film's last song.
"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. 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," the statement read.
The exact date of the film is yet to be announced. The makers of the film recently released a new look of its lead star Ram Charan, introducing the character “Peddi Pehelwan” to coincide with the actor’s birthday.
The newly released visual shows Charan in the role of a wrestler, marking a shift in the film’s narrative after earlier promotional material presented him as a village cricketer. The image forms part of a series of content releases from the production that have gradually revealed different facets of the film’s setting and central character.
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the sports drama centres on the titular character Peddi and appears to chart his journey across different arenas of competition. Early footage and posters showed the character playing cricket in a rural setting, while the latest reveal introduces wrestling as a major element of the story.
The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Jagapathi Babu, Shiva Rajkumar and Divyendu Sharma in supporting roles.
Music for the film is composed by A. R. Rahman. Its first single, Chikiri Chikiri, was released a few months ago and drew significant online attention, contributing to growing anticipation around the project. A second track, Rai Rai Raa Raa, followed with a more energetic tone and also gained traction on video platforms.
