Across the Palk Strait, the machinery of a Pan-India cinematic ambition has found its next stage. Director Buchi Babu Sana's 'Peddi,' anchored by Telugu star Ram Charan, has moved its production to Sri Lanka, continuing a journey that has already assembled a thousand dancers in Mysore and refused to pause for holidays. With a release date set for March 27, 2026 — Ram Charan's birthday — the film is being built not merely to entertain, but to arrive as a cultural event.
