In the weeks before a much-delayed film meets its audience, the people behind Peddi have chosen Bhopal as the stage for a moment of public commitment. On May 16, Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor, and composer A.R. Rahman will gather to unveil a trailer for a film that has tested the patience of its makers and the loyalty of its admirers alike. That $100,000 crossed in North American advance bookings within four hours suggests anticipation has not dimmed — if anything, delay has deepened it. What unfolds on June 4 will reveal whether the spectacle of the launch was prologue or prophecy.
