The Telugu film Peddi shifts to June 4 2026, creating a direct opening weekend clash with Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai on June 5 2026.

Ram Charan’s Telugu film Peddi will now open in cinemas on 4 June 2026, setting up a close box office face-off with Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which arrives on 5 June 2026. Both films will share the same opening weekend across India.

The new schedule emerged after several shifts in release dates involving Peddi, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, and the pan-India film Toxic. Changes to Toxic’s plan started a chain reaction in the calendar, affecting both Ram Charan and Varun Dhawan’s projects over recent months.

Peddi has moved dates many times. The film was first planned for 27 March 2026, then shifted to 30 April 2026. It was later pushed to 25 June 2026. The latest announcement fixes the release on 4 June 2026, ahead of the earlier June-end slot.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai also went through multiple changes. The film was originally scheduled for 5 June 2026. When Toxic booked 4 June 2026, the makers advanced Varun Dhawan’s release to 22 May 2026. After Toxic was postponed, the team reverted to 5 June 2026.

Varun Dhawan confirmed the restored Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai release date on Instagram, posting, "JUNE 5 TH 2026 in theatres Thankful to @thenameisyash and @maddockfilms for helping us reset the calendar as our film hai jawani toh ishq hona hai will now release on its original date. The first film to release post IPL (sic)." Teasers and songs from both films are already out, with Peddi drawing stronger early response than Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.
