The sports drama Peddi, led by Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, is heading to streaming after a strong run at the box office. Anyone who missed catching the film in theatres now has reason to cheer, with Netflix confirming a date for its digital premiere.
When and where to watch Peddi
Netflix announced on its official social media handle that Peddi will have its digital premiere on July 9. The streaming platform shared a special promotional message expressing excitement about the film joining its library. At the time of release, viewers will be able to watch it in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Hindi-speaking audiences will need to wait a little longer, since the Hindi version of the film is set to roll out separately at a later date.
The film also stirred controversy over certain scenes
Despite its impressive box office run, Peddi did not escape controversy entirely. Certain scenes in the film drew criticism, with claims that the actress's character was over sexualised and reduced to being used like a prop within the story. That criticism did not appear to dent the film's earnings, and it kept audiences talking well after its theatrical release.
A massive box office run
Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi released in theatres on June 4, 2026. While critics were divided in their reviews, audiences embraced the film wholeheartedly and turned up in large numbers at cinemas. Trade estimates suggest the sports drama collected close to Rs 339 crore worldwide, with the Indian market alone contributing nearly Rs 286 crore of that total. That strong haul has placed Peddi among the highest grossing South Indian films of the year.
Who stars in Peddi
Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor lead the cast of Peddi. They are joined by Dr Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu, Boman Irani and Ravi Kishan in significant roles that add weight to the film. The music and background score were composed by Academy Award winning composer A.R. Rahman, which turned out to be one of the film's key highlights.
What's next for Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor
Following the success of Peddi, Ram Charan will next be seen in RC17, working alongside director Sukumar. Janhvi Kapoor, meanwhile, is preparing for her next project, tentatively referred to as Lag Ja Gale, though an official title for the project has not yet been announced. Fans of both stars are now looking forward to these upcoming films.
