Hyderabad, April 12, 2026: The shoot of Peddi, starring Ram Charan, has been temporarily put on hold for a few days. The actor has reportedly taken a short break due to personal commitments, leading to a brief pause in the film’s final schedule.
Final Schedule Interrupted
According to industry sources, the film had already completed most of its principal photography, with only a crucial song sequence left to be shot. This sequence—believed to be a high-energy number—was scheduled for this week but has now been postponed.
Despite the halt in shooting, work on post-production has not stopped. Editing, colour grading, and other technical processes are progressing simultaneously to avoid major delays.
Reason Behind the Break
While there has been no official statement from the makers, reports suggest that the break was pre-planned and mutually agreed upon by the team. Ram Charan is expected to rejoin the shoot soon, after which the pending portions will be wrapped up quickly.
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi is being positioned as an intense sports drama with strong emotional undertones. The film features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, while music is composed by A. R. Rahman.
Release Date Under Discussion
The film was initially expected to arrive in theatres around late April 2026. However, with the current pause and pending shoot, there is growing speculation about a slight shift in the release timeline.
That said, sources close to the production maintain that the delay, if any, will be minimal, as the team is working on parallel schedules to keep things on track.
Fan Buzz Remains Strong
Despite the temporary halt, excitement around Peddi remains high. The film has already generated strong buzz due to its genre, Ram Charan’s transformation, and the collaboration with A.R. Rahman.
Fans are hopeful that the break is short-lived and that the film delivers on its promise of a powerful and emotional sports drama.
