A Powerful Sports Drama Set in Rural Andhra Pradesh
“Peddi” positions itself as more than just another sports film. Set in the rural landscapes of 1980s Andhra Pradesh, the narrative appears to center around a spirited villager who unites his community through cricket to defend their collective pride against a powerful adversary.
Director Buchi Babu Sana, known for his debut film “Uppena,” brings his storytelling prowess to this rustic sports drama. The “First Shot” video also introduces audiences to Ram Charan’s character speaking in an authentic Vizianagaram dialect, adding layers of regional authenticity to the role.
The inspirational tagline “Just do it because you have only one life” accompanies the promotional material, hinting at the film’s motivational undertones.

Film enthusiasts will need to exercise patience, as “Peddi” is scheduled for theatrical release on March 27, 2026, coinciding with Ram Charan’s 41st birthday. The strategic release date suggests the film could face competition from Nani’s “The Paradise,” which is set to premiere a day earlier on March 26, 2026.
For Ram Charan, “Peddi” represents an important opportunity to bounce back after the reportedly underwhelming performance of “Game Changer.” The actor’s dramatic transformation for this role and the film’s sports-centered storyline have already generated significant buzz among fans and industry insiders alike.
