Nani's action drama is holding strong in Telangana thanks to a festival boost but is bleeding money everywhere else, trade sources tracking the weekend numbers say.
During a Hyderabad press meet, Nani lauded the collective work behind ‘The Paradise’, noting its shift from lukewarm to enthusiastic reception and singling out key collaborators for their contributions.
Premiere-night reactions to Nani's long-delayed The Paradise are largely positive, with praise for Mohan Babu's villain turn and Anirudh's score, though some viewers struggled with the film's heavy Telangana dialect.
The period action drama ‘The Paradise’, starring Nani and directed by Srikanth Odela, releases worldwide on September 24. The filmmaker promises an emotion‑driven experience, six songs by Anirudh and no sequel plans.
The Paradise arrives September 24 with Mohan Babu playing the antagonist opposite Raghav Juyal, but director Srikanth Odela has released no trailer, keeping the veteran actor's role a closely guarded secret.
Priyanka Mohan says shooting Arasan with Simbu under Vetrimaaran felt magical, but confirms the film has dropped its Diwali release plan as the final schedule continues without a new date.
