Ram Charan was initially expected to hit theatres with Peddi on his birthday, March 27. However, due to delays in production, strong buzz about a postponement had been doing the rounds for some time — and it now appears to be almost certain that the film will not make its planned birthday release.

With March 27 officially ruled out, the makers are actively considering a new release window. Latest developments suggest that the team is now eyeing May 1 as a potential release date. This slot is being seen as ideal, as production is expected to wrap up by then, leaving sufficient time for promotions.

However, the May 1 date comes with its own complication. Akhil Akkineni’s upcoming film Lenin has already locked this slot, with the makers announcing the release date well in advance and kickstarting promotions. The film holds significant importance for Akhil, as it marks a crucial attempt to bounce back after the disappointing response to Agent. Reports indicate that Akhil is confident and optimistic about Lenin, making a postponement a tough call.

If Peddi were to target the May 1 window, it would require considerable negotiation, as the Lenin team has been firmly working toward this date. Given that Ram Charan and Akhil share a close friendship, the chances of both films clashing at the box office appear minimal.

Ultimately, it may come down to which production house is able to convince the other and secure the suddenly high-demand May 1 release slot. The situation is being closely watched by trade circles, as it could significantly impact both films’ box-office prospects.
