Keerthy Suresh rebuts criticism over rumored dance appearance in Nani's Telugu film The Paradise

Actress Keerthy Suresh responded to an Instagram post that claimed she agreed to a dance number in Nani’s upcoming film The Paradise because she lacked substantial acting roles. She replied sarcastically, correcting the post’s mistake that the film is a Telugu production, not Kannada, writing “Vera level ponga! Chinna correction. Nani nadippathu Telugu. Kannada alla.”

The film’s producers have not confirmed Keerthy’s involvement, and the teaser did not reveal her presence. The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela and starring Nani, is scheduled for theatrical release on 24 September 2026. Keerthy continues to work on several other projects, including Karthik Subbaraj’s Dorothy and the Telugu film Rowdy Janardhana.

Her witty reply generated a wave of fan reactions, but the speculation about a special appearance remains unverified.
