Peddi Secures CBFC U/A Certificate as Runtime Is Locked at 189 Minutes

Board-ordered edits remove a geographical and community reference and mask explicit imagery to clear the path for the film’s early June release while limiting potential regional or communal sensitivities.

Overview

  • The Central Board of Film Certification granted Peddi a U/A (16+) certificate, with certification details reported as issued on May 22.
  • Makers confirmed the film’s final runtime is 189 minutes, or 3 hours and 9 minutes, which will stand for the theatrical release.
  • Censor changes ordered by the board include deletion of the word 'Rajasthan', removal of a community reference, muting or altering six words, and covering a middle-finger shot with CGI.
  • Peddi will hold a grand premiere on June 3 and open worldwide in theatres on June 4, and the team has maintained an intensive promotional schedule across cities.
  • The large-scale sports drama, directed by Buchi Babu Sana and starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor with music by A. R. Rahman, is positioned by promoters as an inspirational, awards‑friendly film and will face normal box-office competition on its release weekend.
