Peddi is undoubtedly one of the biggest Telugu films of this year, carrying massive buzz across trade circles and among fans, and it is entering a crucial phase now. From the day it was announced, expectations have been sky-high.
The film was initially slated for a grand release on March 27. But the makers recently made it official that the release has been pushed to April 30. While the team projected confidence about meeting the new date, industry insiders have been skeptical from the beginning.
Shoot Still On – Can April 30 Be Achieved?
Strong reports suggest that the film’s shoot is expected to continue until the end of March. Even though the team is reportedly working with multiple units simultaneously to speed up production, trade analysts believe wrapping up shooting, post-production, promotions, and censor formalities within such a tight window will be a huge challenge.
While the makers remain confident, fresh rumours now indicate that the film might eventually move to June if things don’t go as planned.
Delay in Updates Fueling Speculation:
Adding more fuel to the speculation is the delay in promotional updates. The much-awaited second single was originally planned for a New Year release. But it has been postponed multiple times and has yet to see the light of day.
This continuous delay in promotional material is only strengthening the rumours about possible production or post-production hurdles.
Impact on Akhil’s Lenin:
Interestingly, Lenin, starring Akhil, is currently eyeing a May 1 release. If Peddi sticks to April 30, Lenin may have to reconsider its date to avoid a box office clash. On the other hand, if Peddi moves to June, it could clear the path for Lenin to arrive as planned.
For now, the situation remains uncertain. Whether the team manages to pull off an April 30 release or opts for a safer June window is something the industry is closely watching.
One thing is clear: the coming weeks will be crucial for Peddi.
