By: Tupaki Desk | 8 May 2026 10:30 AM ISTMega Powerstar Ram Charan is proving his unparalleled global stardom as his upcoming film, Peddi, shatters presale expectations. Taking an earth-shattering start in the US market, the film's premiere sales crossed $50K in just 30 minutes and touched $100K in under four hours.
This makes it the first Indian film to achieve this milestone within the first 24 hours of bookings opening, beating previous records held by films like They Call Him OG, Devara, and Salaar. The fact that Charan has managed to breach the earlier record for 24 hour presales that was set by Kalyan with OG, around $82K is great news for mega fans as both their heroes are delivering big time.
The grand premieres are set for June 3rd, and Prathyangira Cinemas is leaving no stone unturned, opening advance bookings across 950+ shows for this massive North America release. Bookings are in full swing, and theaters are filling up fast.
Sensational promotional materials, especially the gripping Birthday Glimpses, have pushed the ticket demand to an all-time high. Inside reports strongly indicate that the raw emotion of the film matches Rangasthalam, largely due to Ram Charan’s commanding screen presence.
Written and directed by Buchi Babu Sana, Peddi blends emotion, sports, and action like never before. Bankrolled by Venkata Satish Kilaru, the movie features Janhvi Kapoor and Shiva Rajkumar alongside lavish production values. The early box office rampage is a clear indicator of the storm brewing worldwide.
