If Pawan Takes Peddi’s Date, Harish May Need to Speed Up!

2026 started strongly for Tollywood with the Sankranti festival delivering big box office numbers.

 Most of the films released during the festival did well and made good money. Now, the focus is shifting to the next major release period, which is the Summer season.

Ram Charan’s much-anticipated rural drama, Peddi, has officially announced its release plans for Summer 2026.

 Even though the makers have repeatedly mentioned March 27th as the release date, there are rumors that the film might be delayed due to ongoing filming and post-production work. There’s also a new court ruling that could affect the timing of ticket price increases, which might be another reason for the delay.

As the release date of Peddi remains uncertain, there’s a new buzz in the industry that Pawan Kalyan’s long-awaited cop thriller, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, might take over March 27th if Peddi gets postponed at the last minute.

 If that happens, March 27th could be a great release date for Ustaad Bhagat Singh, provided no other big films are targeting the same day.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh has a good chance of doing well at the box office in the last week of March.

 There’s a lot of excitement among audiences, especially since Pawan Kalyan’s previous film, OG, was a massive hit and set records. Fans are excited about the collaboration between Harish Shankar and Pawan Kalyan, which is adding to the film’s buzz.

For Ustaad Bhagat Singh to take Peddi’s spot, Harish Shankar needs to finish everything well in advance to ensure the film is ready for March 27th.

 There’s still a lot of work to be done on the film, and there will be a lot of production activity before the release.

Harish Shankar must make sure the final edit is completed at least a week before the release to avoid any last-minute rush that could affect both the domestic and overseas launches.

 In the past, films like Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG faced issues with overseas premieres because the prints were delayed due to post-production issues.

With only two months left until the release date, if Peddi drops out of the Summer race, Harish Shankar needs to make sure Ustaad Bhagat Singh is ready on March 27th and doesn’t miss out on the big opportunity.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh stars Sree Leela and Rashi Khanna in important roles.

 Devi Sri Prasad is responsible for the film’s music. The film is being funded by Mythri Movie Makers.
