While the makers of Peddi are still saying that they are arriving on April 30th, the Telugu film industry is ready to release other films during the same time if it postpones. Samantha Ruth Prabhu‘s Maa Inti Bangaram and Anand Deverakonda‘s EPIC are eyeing the same date, creating a competitive release landscape.
Maa Inti Bangaram and EPIC Ready as Backup Options
Samantha‘s Maa Inti Bangaram was announced for May 15th but will be released in theatres either on 30th April or 1st May in case Peddi gets postponed. The film’s team is closely monitoring Ram Charan‘s project timeline.
Similarly, Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya‘s EPIC is also planning to release the film on May 1st weekend if Ram Charan’s film does not arrive. The romantic drama has been ready for release and is awaiting the right window.
About the Competing Films
EPIC – First Semester is a romantic drama starring Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya, directed by Aditya Haasan (known for ‘#90s – A Middle Class Biopic’). Produced by Sithara Entertainments, this London-set film acts as a spin-off to the 90s series and revolves around youth, romance, and study life.
Maa Inti Bangaaram is an action-drama film starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu and produced under her banner, Tralala Moving Pictures. Directed by B.V. Nandini Reddy, the movie features Samantha in a dual-shaded role as a strong homemaker with a, potentially, violent past.
Crowded Release Calendar
It needs to be seen whether Peddi releases on April 30th or Maa Inti Bangaaram and EPIC will make their way. Also, Tharun Bhascker‘s Gaaya Padda Simham has also been announced for May 1st release, adding another contender to the mix.
The April-May period is traditionally strong for Telugu cinema, and multiple films are positioning themselves to capture this lucrative window. The final release schedule will depend on Peddi‘s confirmed status in the coming weeks.
