Ram Charan and director Buchi Babu Sana’s sports action drama Peddi has crossed $1 million in overseas pre-sales. The film releases on June 4, 2026, and is already seeing strong advance bookings in many countries. The early response shows big interest from fans abroad, making it one of the most-awaited Telugu films this year.

North America leads the numbers with about $700,000 from premiere shows and another $50,000 from Day 1 tickets. Other countries have added close to $250,000 so far. Trade experts say bookings have grown fast in the last two days and will likely increase more before release.
