'Peddi' Backlash
Ram Charan's film has been receiving backlash for its portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor's character Achiyamma. The internet has called out the makers for focusing more on the actress's body in the movie.

Despite the backlash, the film continues to perform well at the box office, indicating that audience interest remains high.

The movie was released in cinemas on June 4, 2026, and has been drawing mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike. While some praise the action sequences and Ram Charan's performance, others have criticized the narrative choices regarding the female lead.
