With just hours remaining for its theatrical release, Telugu icon Ram Charan’s highly-awaited sports action drama, Peddi, has emerged as a box-office powerhouse even before the commencement of the first show. The film has posted robust advance bookings across domestic and international markets, breaching the Rs 35 crore mark in worldwide pre-sales and cementing its status as one of the biggest openings of 2026.

Movie logs strong advance booking trend

If the latest sales data are to be believed, Peddi has seen an impressive response from audiences nationwide. The film has sold more than 3.85 lakh tickets so far over 6,100 scheduled shows, generating close to Rs 9.29 crore in gross advance sales without considering block bookings.

With the block bookings included, the advance booking figure soars to around Rs 15.4 crore gross, underlining the massive anticipation surrounding the film.

The original Telugu version continues to lead the ticket sales, accounting for the overwhelming majority of bookings. More than 3.70 lakh tickets have been sold for the Telugu screenings alone, contributing as much as Rs 9 crore in advance revenue. The Hindi version, meanwhile, has posted modest numbers so far, while Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada versions have recorded comparatively limited traction.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana lead the charge

The film has gained a strong momentum from the Telugu speaking states, where it has generated exceptional pre-release buzz. Andhra Pradesh has stood as the highest contributor, accounting for approximately Rs 8.74 crore gross through advance sales, including block bookings. Telangana has added Rs 4 crore, compounding the film’s domestic performance.

In terms of major centres, Hyderabad has taken the lead with advance collections exceeding Rs 2.3 crore. Visakhapatnam stands second on the list with around Rs 1.37 crore, while Vijayawada, Kakinada, Warangal and Guntur have also delivered encouraging numbers. Warangal, in particular, has clocked occupancy levels of 84% for advance bookings. Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada have also reported strong occupancy trends, indicating sizable walk-in potential on release day.

Global sales race past Rs 35 crore

International markets have also responded positively to the film’s pre-release, steering it past the Rs 35 crore mark in worldwide advance bookings. Trade analysts expect the figure to climb further as last-minute bookings continue to pour in.

The Buchi Babu Sana directorial features Ram Charan in the lead role alongside Janhvi Kapoor, Divyendu Sharma, Jagapathi Babu and Shivarajkumar. The film is slated to release on June 4, with expectations remaining high for a thunderous opening at the box office.
