Not to be outdone, Ram Charan's "Peddi"—a vibrant rural sports drama helmed by Buchi Babu Sana—has now surpassed even his father's milestone, raking in a staggering ₹378 crore worldwide by its second Saturday. The makers have declared "Peddi" as the top grosser of 2026, and industry trackers expect it to challenge the ₹400 crore benchmark in the days ahead. The film features a star-studded cast including Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu, and Boman Irani, with vibrant music by AR Rahman, all under the banner of Vriddhi Cinemas.

According to the production team, "Peddi"'s relentless run has "emerged as the highest grossing South Indian film and the No. 1 grosser of 2026 so far."

With both films still drawing audiences, the Mega family’s dominance at the box office looks set to continue, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next cinematic spectacle from these industry legends.
