According to him, Peddi could take a bigger opening in South markets than Hindi, where Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai would take the lead. “In the Hindi market, Peddi should take a decent and above-average start, depending on the word of mouth. All we can hope is that it will have a strong weekend. Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is a multicast and Gen Z film and the youth are excited. This could be the number one film in the Hindi market. I am predicting a good start for this. Everything looks good here, and it is a family-favouring movie.”
