Worldwide gross reaches Rs 261.23 crore
With six days of theatrical run completed, Peddi has amassed Rs 179.35 crore in India net collections. The film's India gross collection currently stands at Rs 213.23 crore. The overseas market added another Rs 1 crore on Day 6, pushing the international gross total to Rs 48 crore. As a result, the worldwide gross collection has now climbed to Rs 261.23 crore.
Telugu version continues to lead
Out of the total Day 6 earnings, the Telugu version alone accounted for Rs 7.75 crore. The Hindi version contributed Rs 1.65 crore, while Tamil collected Rs 15 lakhs. Kannada and Malayalam versions added smaller numbers to the overall total. The film recorded an overall Telugu occupancy of 27.12 percent on Day 6, with evening shows witnessing the strongest response from audiences. Peddi was screened in more than 7,500 shows across India on that day.
Janhvi Kapoor's role sparks discussion
While the film remains successful at the ticket window, conversations about Janhvi Kapoor's character have continued online. Speaking to Telugu360 Digital, actor Jagapathi Babu defended Janhvi Kapoor and appealed for restraint in online discussions. He said, 'As an artist, the only thing I would say is please don't target the actor. It's unfair to go after that girl. We don't know what her personal views were or whether she agreed with every creative decision.'
Explaining the creative process behind filmmaking, he added, 'It's not as if she pushed for it herself. She did what the director asked her to do. When an actor signs on and trusts a director's vision, they follow that vision. We do what the director tells us. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. He (Buchi Babu) may have his own reasons. I support Janhvi in this matter.'
The actor also stressed that viewers should focus their opinions on the film rather than on individuals. He further said, 'If you like or dislike the film, comment on the film. But don't single out an artist, troll them, or cause them mental distress.'
