Peddi, starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles, is slated to release in theatres on June 4, 2026. During a recent media interaction, the actress revealed how airport authorities during her international trips often associate Indian actors with Ram Charan, Jr NTR, and RRR.

Speaking to IANS, amid Peddi promotions, Janhvi Kapoor revealed that whenever she interacts with airport authorities outside India, they often ask her about Ram Charan and RRR.

The actress said, “I was just in America recently, and I have to tell everyone that the reference point for Indians right now is you. Even at immigration, they ask, ‘Are you an actor?’ and I say, ‘Yes, I am an actor.’ Then they go like, ‘Oh yes, RRR… Ram Charan… NTR,’ and I’m like, ‘Sure!’”

RRR, directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR, received massive appreciation internationally, especially after its digital debut.

More about Peddi

Peddi revolves around a young and spirited man from a village who is regarded as a legend in multiple sports, including cricket, wrestling, and running. As he navigates the challenges of everyday life, he faces the biggest test of his journey and strives to make a name for himself using the talent he has honed over the years.

The sports action drama is touted as a journey of self-discovery and excellence. The film also explores themes of personal rivalry and budding romance. Alongside Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, the film stars Shiva Rajkumar, Divyenndu, Boman Irani, Jagapathi Babu, and others in key roles.

Initially, the film was scheduled to release on March 27, 2026, and was later postponed to April 30, 2026. However, due to pending production work, the makers ultimately locked June 4, 2026, as the final release date, especially after Yash’s “Toxic” was postponed.

With music composed by AR Rahman, the film’s entire album has already been unveiled and is currently available for streaming online.
