Jio Studios Sets Release Dates for ‘Peddi’ and ‘Raja Shivaji’ on April 30 and May 1

In celebration of Ram Charan’s birthday, the creators of his anticipated film, Peddi, released an engaging teaser titled ‘Peddi Pehelwan.’ This latest promotional material shifts focus from the initial teaser, which showcased Ram Charan as a village cricketer in a previous release from 2025. The new teaser highlights a wrestling theme, featuring Ram Charan in a vigorous role. Notably, Jio Studios is credited at the end of the teaser.

Jio Studios Takes Distribution Role in North India

Industry sources indicate that Jio Studios will be responsible for distributing Peddi in North India. This development is significant as it marks Jio’s inaugural venture into releasing a Pan-India film in the Hindi-speaking regions, signaling an expansion in their distribution strategy.

Cast and Crew of Peddi

Peddi features a robust ensemble cast including Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyenndu. The film is a collaboration between Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings, known for their work on Pushpa, with production led by Venkata Satish Kilaru’s Vriddhi Cinemas. The film is directed by Buchi Babu Sana, and the soundtrack is composed by A R Rahman. Peddi is set to release on April 30.

Raja Shivaji Scheduled for May 1 Release

Coinciding with the release of Peddi, Jio Studios will also launch Raja Shivaji on May 1. This film centers around the life of the legendary Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, featuring Riteish Deshmukh in the lead role. Riteish is not only starring in the film but is also the director. The cast additionally includes Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Vidya Balan, Genelia Deshmukh, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, and Amole Gupte, with Salman Khan appearing in a cameo role. The historical drama is co-produced by Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios and the Mumbai Film Company, headed by Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh.

Anticipation for Screen Allocation

Trade insiders have noted the significance of having two prominent films released in the same week. With Jio backing both projects, it is expected that a careful screen-sharing approach will be implemented to ensure that each film receives adequate exposure. This situation draws parallels to the successful handling of the simultaneous release of Oppenheimer and Barbie in July 2023, where the distribution was managed thoughtfully, and expectations are high that a similar strategy will be utilized for the May releases.
