However, SKN has now issued a clarification regarding the Peddi release date confusion.

'Blunder Happened From Our Side': Sai Rajesh

Later, Chennai Love Story director Sai Rajesh wrote on his Instagram Stories that when SKN asked if they could announce June 26 as the release date for Chennai Love Story, he had advised him against doing so.

"When he (SKN) said Can we announce #ChennaiLoveStory on June 26th, I said Don’t announce. I just saw devipriya tweet on X app… “Peddi" may come on June 26th… he mistakenly said peddi releasing on June 26th… Sincere apologies to Peddi team. Blunder happened from our side," wrote Rajesh.

As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding any change in Peddi's release date, which means the film is still scheduled to hit cinemas on April 30.
