Peddi Overseas Release June 4 — Ram Charan NRI Guide

Ram Charan’s highly anticipated sports drama Peddi is all set for a worldwide theatrical release on June 4, 2026. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and co-starring Janhvi Kapoor, the film has already generated massive buzz among Telugu NRIs in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the Gulf countries.

With strong advance bookings and premium-format screenings (IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX), Peddi is expected to deliver one of the biggest overseas openings for a Telugu film in 2026. Here is everything NRI audiences need to know — censor details, runtime, overseas expectations, and where to watch.

Peddi Censor Talk: U/A 16+ Certificate & Runtime Details

The film has completed its censorship formalities well in advance. Here is the latest censor update:

CBFC Certificate: U/A 16+
Runtime: 3 hours 9 minutes (189 minutes)
Cuts / Modifications: Minor changes — muting or altering a few strong words and modifying one phrase in the song "Chikiri Chikiri"; some references were also toned down
UK Rating: 12A, with some voluntary cuts for violence

The relatively clean U/A 16+ certificate with only minor edits has come as a relief to fans, especially since the film carries a mass, rustic, and emotional sports-drama tone. This runtime also makes Peddi one of the longer Telugu films in recent times, so the makers will need tight pacing to keep audiences engaged throughout.

Overseas Release & NRI Expectations

Peddi is releasing simultaneously across major international markets on June 4, 2026, in multiple premium formats. Here is the market-by-market outlook for NRIs:

USA: Very strong advance bookings — available in IMAX, Dolby, 4DX, and standard formats
UK: Good family and youth turnout expected — 12A certified
Canada & Australia: Strong Telugu diaspora support, multiple formats
Gulf countries: High footfall expected — standard and premium screens

Early reports suggest North America premieres have already crossed $1.1 million in paid previews, putting Peddi on track to be Ram Charan’s second-biggest overseas opener after RRR.

Note: Box-office and advance-booking figures are based on early trade reports and are subject to change. Verify showtimes and formats with your local theater chain.
