Ram Charan was supposed to release his film Peddi on his birthday, March 27, this year.
But there have been strong reports that the film's release has been postponed because of delays in the production process, which was expected to happen anyway.
Now it is almost certain that the film starring Ram Charan will not be released on March 27, and the makers are already thinking about a different release date.
In this situation, the latest updates suggest that the team behind this rural action film is focusing on releasing it on May 1.
This date is considered the best option because by then the production should be complete and there will be enough time for promotions.
However, there is a problem here.
Akhil Akkineni had already booked the May 1 slot for his upcoming film Lenin. The makers announced the release date well in advance, and the promotions have already started.
This film is very important for Akhil because it's his first genuine and honest attempt after the disappointing film Agent.
Akhil seems very confident and optimistic about this movie, which could be a key turning point in his career.
If Peddi intends to go with the May 1 release, a lot of convincing will be needed with Lenin's team.
Akhil would have to give up the planned release date for Ram Charan. Notably, the Lenin team is working hard towards this date and has already begun promotions, so delaying the film would be very difficult.
Since Ram Charan and Akhil are close friends, it's unlikely that both films will clash at the box office on the same day.
In the end, it will likely come down to which production house can convince the other to secure the May 1 slot, which has suddenly become very important.
