Ram Charan is next set to appear in the lead role for the movie tentatively titled RC16. Amidst this, it seems that the film will be postponed from 2025 to March 2026.

As per a Telugu Chitraalu report, Netflix has bought the movie RC16’s post-theatrical streaming rights. According to the same report, the OTT platform has asked for the movie to be postponed until 2026. However, no further details or the reason behind this shift in release date have been mentioned in the report.

The Ram Charan starrer also tentatively titled as Peddi is being helmed by Buchi Babu Sana and is touted to be a sports drama venture that is said to take place in the backdrop of a village.

As Janhvi Kapoor is playing the female lead in the movie, the film has actors like Shiva Rajkumar and Mirzapur fame Divyenndu joining the ensemble cast. The movie also features the Game Changer actor in a different look as well. Moreover, the flick is musically crafted by AR Rahman.

The upcoming movie marks Janhvi Kapoor’s second cinematic venture in Telugu cinema. The actress had previously appeared in the lead role for the Jr NTR starrer movie Devara: Part 1, directed by Koratala Siva.
