Ram Charan’s Peddi, which created a massive impact at the box office, is now gearing up for its digital debut. The sports drama, directed by Buchi Babu Sana and also starring Janhvi Kapoor, is expected to arrive on an OTT platform soon, marking the next chapter in its already successful journey.
Released in cinemas on 4 June, the film opened to a strong response and went on to perform steadily at the box office. However, it also faced criticism over the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor’s character ‘Achiyyamma’, prompting discussions around certain creative choices. The backlash led the director to acknowledge audience concerns, with reports suggesting that some controversial portions were later modified in a revised cut.
Despite the debate, Peddi has emerged as one of the biggest South Indian hits of the year, crossing the impressive Rs 400 crore mark worldwide.
OTT Release Buzz Builds As Netflix Eyes Digital Premiere
As anticipation builds for its OTT release, reports suggest that Peddi is likely to stream on Netflix. The expected digital premiere date is being pegged around 2 July, although some industry chatter also points towards a possible 6 July release. The film is expected to be made available in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam.
