With the release of Peddi just a day away, a press meet was reportedly planned in Hyderabad today as part of the film’s final promotional activities.
However, the event was unexpectedly cancelled, leaving many surprised and curious about the reasons behind the decision.
According to reports circulating in media circles, the Peddi press meet was called off to give more mileage to Pawan Kalyan’s press conference and his fiery speech against his political opponents in Telangana scheduled for the same day.
The development has sparked discussions among industry observers and journalists, many of whom find the move puzzling.
What has surprised many is the timing of the decision. Why should Peddi, a film awaiting release at a crucial stage, step into the political arena at the eleventh hour?
While Pawan Kalyan shares a family connection with Ram Charan, questions are being raised about how such a move benefits the film itself.
Critics argue that linking a major film release, even indirectly, with a political event could invite unnecessary complications.
Political opponents may seize the opportunity to create hurdles for the film’s release or impact its box office collections.
Although strong content ultimately finds its audience and no external factor can stop a genuinely good film from succeeding, many believe there was little need to invite avoidable controversy at such a sensitive moment.
For now, the cancellation remains a talking point among journalists and film industry watchers.
