The pairing of South cinema megastar Ram Charan and Bollywood beauty Jhanvi Kapoor has created such a stir at the box office that the records of big giants have been shattered like a house of cards. The film ‘Peddi’, directed by famous director Buchi Babu Sana, is completely ruling the theaters at the moment. After the spectacular paid premiere on 3rd June and bumper advance booking, the pace of this film is showing no sign of stopping. This film, surrounded by controversies and discussions, has now achieved the distinction of being the highest-grossing South Indian film of the year 2026 due to its explosive box office collection.
