Ram Charan Resumes Shoot for Peddi, As AR Rahman Starts Composing The Music – Key Updates Revealed

Of late, Ram Charan’s upcoming film Peddi has been making headlines over its release date. Social media has been abuzz with speculation that the film may not meet its original release date of March 27, 2026, as the makers reportedly do not want to risk a box-office clash with Dhurandhar 2. The Ranveer Singh-starrer is slated for release on March 19, 2026. While discussions around Peddi continue, here’s a development that fans may be happy to hear.

Peddi director locks first half

According to the latest reports, director Buchi Babu Sana has completed the first half edit of Peddi and has sent it to composer AR Rahman for the background score. Meanwhile, Ram Charan has resumed shooting for the film in Hyderabad from Friday. The makers are planning to film songs during this brief schedule. The team is also gearing up to release the second single next month and is riding high on the success of the first track, Chikiri Chikiri, which has crossed 100 million views. Peddi is a rustic sports drama set in 1980s Andhra Pradesh, and fans are betting big on this Ram Charan-starrer.

Pushpa cinematographer for Ram Charan

Even as Ram Charan continues work on Peddi, the pre-production of his next film with director Sukumar, of Pushpa fame, is underway. According to sources, Sukumar has roped in renowned Polish cinematographer Mirosław Kuba Brożek, popularly known as Kuba. He is best known in Telugu cinema for his work on the Pushpa franchise. Traditionally, Sukumar has collaborated with cinematographer Rathnavelu for most of his films. However, for Pushpa 2, the director worked with Kuba and is now continuing that association for his next project as well.

A source close to the development revealed, “After having collaborated with Kuba for over five years across Pushpa: The Rise and Pushpa 2, Sukumar views his bond with the cinematographer as a crucial creative partnership. He believes Kuba can seamlessly translate his narrative vision into striking visuals, effectively establishing the film’s mood and aesthetic.”
