Adding to the film's momentum, production house Vriddhi Cinemas recently claimed on X that Peddi has sold over 5.3 million tickets across BookMyShow and District, underlining its massive appeal among moviegoers and sustained demand at the ticket windows.

Headlined by Ram Charan, Janhvi Kapoor and Shivarajkumar, Peddi continues to draw audiences despite fresh competition from recent releases such as Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Obsession and Bandar.

Meanwhile, Peddihas also found itself at the centre of a controversy. Several viewers accused the film of objectifying Janhvi Kapoor and failing to do justice to her role.

Responding to the backlash, director Buchi Babu Sana issued a detailed statement on X. The filmmaker clarified the team's perspective and revealed that changes would be made to the concerned portions of the film.

He wrote, "As a filmmaker, I believe cinema should entertain, inspire and connect with audiences. It should never make anyone feel uncomfortable or disrespected. We have heard the feedback regarding certain scenes in Peddi and have taken it seriously."

"I have always had immense respect for women, both on and off screen, and it was never our intention to objectify or disrespect any female character. If any part of the film has been perceived that way, we respect those sentiments, understand the concerns being raised, and sincerely apologise.

After reviewing the feedback, we have decided to make changes to the concerned portions. Cinema grows through its connection with audiences, and as storytellers, we have a responsibility to be mindful of evolving perspectives and sensitivities," the filmmaker added.
