About Peddi
Peddi had been in the news for the objectionable portrayal of the female protagonist, Janhvi Kapoor, in the film. The netizens didn’t like Janhvi’s objectionable scenes in the film. Due to the backlash, the makers removed such moments from the film.
Director Buchi Babu Sana also apologised for the same and removed the scenes from Peddi. At the success event, Jagapathi Babu thanked the haters for criticising Peddi, as it helped the film to be in the news, because of which the audience watched it in theatres.
Peddi also features Shiva Rajkumar, Divyenndu, Boman Irani, Ravi Kishan and others in key roles. The film is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under Vriddhi Cinemas, in collaboration with Mythri Movie Makers, Sukumar Writings, and IVY Entertainment, with co-producer Ishan Saksena.
Peddi has music composed by AR Rahman and it has been shot by cinematographer R Rathnavelu. The film has been edited by V Y Praveen Kumar. Peddi was released in theatres on June 4 in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada. It clearly defeated Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai at the box office.
