Ram Charan's recent sports action film, 'Peddi,' has garnered substantial box office attention since its release on June 4. Domestically, the movie has collected Rs 240.48 crore, with a notable worldwide gross of Rs 336.85 crore. However, 'Peddi' has also encountered controversy regarding its portrayal of the female lead, Achiyamma, played by Janhvi Kapoor.
A specific romantic scene, showing Ram Charan's character kissing Achiyamma without explicit consent, drew significant backlash on social media, with many users deeming it problematic. In response to the negative reception, director Buchi Babu Sana issued an apology and confirmed that changes have been made to the film to address these concerns.
The film features a supporting cast including Shiva Rajkumar, Divyendu Sharma, and Jagapathi Babu. Trade analyst Sacnilk reported that on Monday, 'Peddi' recorded its lowest collection to date, earning over Rs 38 lakh. The film experienced its peak in the first week, followed by a gradual decline in subsequent weeks.
