Janhvi Kapoor kicked off her big release day for Peddi with a visit to the sacred Tirumala temple in Tirupati to seek blessings. The actor, who stars alongside Ram Charan in the Telugu venture, climbed the 3,550 steps barefoot alongside her aunt, actor Maheshwari.

Janhvi has made the Tirumala temple a go-to sanctuary for major milestones, and the spiritual spot was abuzz with activity as she took on the grueling path in a simple kurta-pyjama and earphones.

Once she conquered the mountain, Janhvi stepped out in a gorgeous purple silk saree and tied the elegant look together with matching jewelry. The videos of her trek quickly went viral.

Meanwhile, the release celebrations for Peddi began across movie theaters, with Ram Charan's wife, Upasana Kamineni Konidela, skipping private screenings to watch the film directly with fans in Hyderabad.

The sports drama has made an explosive debut at the box office, raking in a staggering ₹10.97 crore net in India by 11 AM on its first Friday. Industry insiders reveal that Peddi has been crafted on a colossal canvas, carrying a staggering production budget of approximately ₹350 crore.
