Ram Charan and director Buchi Babu’s much-awaited film Peddi continues to face hurdles as the team struggles to finalize the actress for the film’s special song. While fans are already disappointed with the film's release postponement, the ongoing casting delays have added to their concerns.
Mrunal Thakur Declines Special Song Offer
According to reports, the Peddi team initially approached Mrunal Thakur to feature in the special song alongside Ram Charan. However, the actress appears to have declined the offer. Special songs have become a staple in big-budget Telugu films, often serving as major promotional assets, and the team was keen on bringing a popular face for this number.
With Mrunal out of the picture, director Buchi Babu is now considering other options. Actress Samyuktha is reportedly one of the top contenders being considered for the Peddi special song. The choreography for this number is expected to be handled by Jani Master, as reported earlier when the shoot was scheduled.
Why the Delay in Finalizing the Actress?
Fans are puzzled as to why the selection of an actress for a special song is taking so much time, especially when the film is already racing against release deadlines. The Peddi team has been working under pressure to complete pending portions, and this casting delay only adds to the uncertainty surrounding the project.
June 4 Release Date Still Unclear
Meanwhile, there are reports that the makers are eyeing a June 4, 2026 release date for Peddi, though nothing has been officially confirmed. If the film does arrive on that date, it will face direct competition with Yash’s Toxic, which has confirmed its June 4 release to distributors.
The team’s inability to lock the special song actress, combined with the ongoing production delays, has left fans wondering whether Peddi will be able to meet any of its announced release windows. As of now, all eyes are on Buchi Babu and the team to finalize the cast and provide clarity on the film’s release plans.
