Peddi domestic advance booking is majorly led by the Telugu-speaking markets, with Andhra Pradesh and Telangana driving the pre-sales.

The film has also generated strong traction in Karnataka, where Kannada-dubbed shows will be prioritised. It collected ₹60.43 lakh ( ₹1.39 crore including blocked seats) with 14% occupancy in the state.

The Tamil version has recorded advance bookings worth ₹12.34 lakh ( ₹22.85 lakh with blocked seats) from 281 shows with 9% occupancy. Reportedly, the advance booking will see a surge once booking opens for PVR INOX.

On the other hand, the Hindi-speaking belt has seen limited interest so far. Maharashtra added ₹5.08 lakh, Gujarat ₹1.96 lakh, Rajasthan ₹1.38 lakh, Delhi ₹63,830, and Uttar Pradesh just ₹16,780 in pre-sales.

Peddi advance booking opens in Telangana

Previously, the advance booking for Peddi was reported to be put on hold in Telangana due to a pending government approval over paid premieres and ticket price hikes. Despite Andhra Pradesh already receiving a greenlight for higher rates and extra show, the Nizam region faced uncertainty.

According to Cinema Express, the film received a clearance from the Telangana government on Tuesday night. As a result, finally, the advance bookings opened on Wednesday.

Reportedly, the makers have been permitted to charge ticket prices of up to ₹600, inclusive of GST, for the film's premiere shows. Additional shows from June 4 were also approved by the government.

Besides this, a hike of ₹125 in multiplexes and ₹100 in single-screen theatres, inclusive of GST, by the makers has also been approved, as per the same report by Cinema Express.

This revised pricing and show permissions are said to remain effective for 10 days.

Peddi also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Boman Irani and Divyendu. The movie is directed by Buchi Babu Sena.
