'Peddi' Shoot Delayed, Jeopardizing Ram Charan's Birthday Release

As of October 7th, 2025, the production of Ram Charan's highly anticipated film 'Peddi' has encountered significant delays, pushing the project's completion timeline beyond its original schedule. The period drama, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, was previously expected to wrap up by December 2025, allowing ample time for post-production before its scheduled release on March 27, 2026 - a date that also marks Ram Charan's birthday.

However, the latest reports indicate that the film's extensive scale and the challenges in organizing its massive production setup have resulted in a slowdown, with the shoot now speculated to extend into January 2026. The team is reportedly focused on constructing elaborate sets and ensuring every frame meets the highest quality standards, as the film is set in the 1980s and requires an authentic recreation of the era's backdrop.

Starring alongside Ram Charan are Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, along with Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar, 'Mirzapur' fame Divyendu Sharma, and veteran actor Jagapathi Babu. Ram Charan's rugged and rustic look for the film, featuring long hair, a thick beard, and a ripped physique, has already generated significant buzz among fans.

With the production delays, the makers of 'Peddi' now find themselves in a race against time to complete the film and meet the planned release date, which holds special significance for the lead actor's birthday. Fans eagerly await the sports drama, hoping the team can overcome the current challenges and deliver the highly anticipated project on schedule.
