Along with its box office success, Peddi has also been at the centre of a major controversy.

Co-star Jagapathi Babu also came forward to defend Janhvi. He said she simply did what the director asked her to do and urged people not to troll her or cause her mental distress. Several prominent names from the industry including Jaya Bachchan and singer Sona Mohapatra also weighed in on the controversy.
