Ram Charan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming film Peddi. We at OTTplay have learned that popular actress Mrunal Thakur is in talks to feature in a special song in the film. This development has already become a major talking point.
Mrunal Thakur to sizzle for a special song in Peddi
Mrunal Thakur has been in the news recently due to rumors about her relationship with star hero Dhanush. A few days ago, reports even claimed that the two were set to get married on February 14, 2026. However, her team dismissed these rumors, stating that Mrunal is currently focused on her acting commitments.
Mrunal Thakur enjoys immense popularity in Telugu cinema, having delivered back-to-back hits in her career. Her inclusion in a special song has generated significant buzz, as she has a massive fan following, especially among the masses, for her glamour and performances. Sharing screen space with Ram Charan in Peddi is expected to be a visual treat on the big screen.
Has Peddi been postponed?
Peddi is directed by Buchi Babu Sana, has completed nearly 80 percent of its shoot and was initially slated to hit the screens on March 27, 2026. However, over the past few days, strong speculation has been doing the rounds that the film might get postponed.
If Peddi moves away from its March 27, 2026 release date, Pawan Kalyan’s Ustad Bhagat Singh is likely to take that slot. Nani’s The Paradise was also scheduled around the same time, but reports suggest that it may also move out of the race.
This is largely due to the release of Dhurandhar 2 on March 19, 2026, which is expected to create a massive box-office storm. The makers of Peddi reportedly do not want to release their pan-India biggie during this clash.
On the other hand, the team is focused on wrapping up the remaining shoot. The film features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, with music composed by A.R. Rahman.
Peddi's new song to be unveiled soon
One song from the film, titled Chakkari, has already been released and has crossed over one million views. The makers are expected to unveil the second song soon. Meanwhile, A.R. Rahman is under pressure to deliver, especially after his recent comments about not getting enough work in Mumbai attracted heavy trolling.
For now, all eyes are on when the makers of Peddi will officially announce the new release date. Mrunal Thakur’s inclusion remains one of the film’s biggest highlights. Stay tuned for more updates.
