The anticipation surrounding Peddi reached new heights as the first shot from the film was unveiled, sparking excitement among fans—particularly the Mega fans—who had pinned high hopes on director Buchi Babu Sana. Known for his impactful debut with the national award-winning Uppena, Buchi Babu has quickly earned a reputation for storytelling rich in emotion and rooted in rustic backdrops. As a protégé of acclaimed filmmaker Sukumar, expectations were sky-high, with many hoping he would deliver a cinematic experience that could even rival Rangasthalam.
The first glimpse of Peddi lived up to the hype. While it remained cautious in revealing the storyline, it packed a powerful punch with its presentation. Buchi Babu metaphorically hit a “Dhoni-style helicopter shot,” immediately winning over audiences. The visuals, tone, and atmosphere suggested a film set against a vibrant rural backdrop, with cultural elements like cricket during Dussehra subtly woven in. While some parallels to Rangasthalam were noted, Peddi carves its own identity—thanks in no small part to Ram Charan’s undeniable screen presence and charisma.
This first impression signals a strong start, but Buchi Babu’s real test lies ahead. With the bar set high, the journey from meeting expectations to exceeding them will be closely watched. His next milestone is to elevate Peddi to a work of distinction—one that garners not only box office success but also critical acclaim on both the state and national levels.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the film is the collaboration with A.R. Rahman. While Rahman is a global musical icon, his footprint in Telugu cinema has yet to produce a definitive blockbuster. If Peddi can harness Rahman’s musical genius and deliver a soundtrack and background score on par with industry stalwarts like Anirudh, Devi Sri Prasad, or Thaman, it could mark a new era for Rahman in Tollywood and add a significant layer of depth to the film.
Peddi is slated for release on March 26, 2026. With nearly a year to go, much remains to be seen. However, based on this initial reveal, Buchi Babu has passed his first test with flying colors. As the pressure mounts, all eyes will be on how he continues to shape this ambitious project in the months ahead.
