If you’ve been refreshing Netflix just hoping for some big Telugu cinema drop, here’s some genuinely exciting news straight from Tollywood’s rumor mill to reality: Ram Charan’s upcoming pan‑India film Peddi is officially locked in with Netflix for post‑theatrical streaming. And no, this isn’t one of those vague “maybe” deals — the streaming rights have been sealed for a hefty figure, making it one of the biggest OTT deals for a Telugu solo project in recent memory.
For fans who’ve been buzzing about when they can finally watch Peddi at home after (or instead of) hitting the cinema, here’s the lowdown:
The film will hit theaters first, scheduled for March 27, 2026.
Then — and only then — it’s coming to Netflix as soon as the theatrical window closes. While there’s no exact Netflix date out yet, the rights are already in Netflix’s pocket, which basically guarantees that once cinemas wrap their run, the film will pop up on your screens.
Now, let’s talk scale — because this isn’t some small OTT afterthought. Netflix reportedly shelled out around ₹105 crore (plus GST) to secure Peddi’s streaming rights across all languages the movie is releasing in (Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada). That’s a serious vote of confidence in the project’s pan‑India pull and the buzz Ram Charan brings to the table.
You’re probably wondering, “So what’s the waiting game like?” Here’s the thing: big theatrical films like this often have a waiting period of several weeks between cinema release and OTT premiere. Nothing’s been locked in firmly yet, but if Peddi follows the usual pattern, expect it to land on Netflix maybe 6–10 weeks after its big screen run — just like many recent South Indian blockbusters have done.
And yes — it’s finally happening in multiple languages on Netflix, so whether you’re watching the original Telugu version or any of the dubbed ones, you won’t be left out once the theatrical stint winds down.
All in all, it’s a pretty exciting time for fans. Peddi has already created a ton of anticipation with its rural sports drama vibe, big‑name cast, and AR Rahman score, and now Netflix streaming adds another layer of accessibility once the film wraps its box office journey. So plan your theater nights first — and maybe save your Netflix notifications for a Peddi alert later this summer
