The Paradise film set for worldwide release on September 24
The Telugu film ‘The Paradise’, starring Nani and directed by Srikanth Odela, is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on September 24, 2026. The film, produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV Cinemas, is described as a large-scale action drama with a strong emotional core centered on the bond between a mother and son.
In preparation for the release, the Telangana government has approved a temporary ticket price hike. For the initial four days, single-screen theatres can charge an additional Rs. 48, while multiplexes can charge an extra Rs. 95. Following this period, the additional charges will decrease. As part of the approval, the filmmakers must contribute Rs. 1 crore to the Telugu Film Industry Employees Welfare Committee.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted the film an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate. This follows 21 required modifications, including changes to scenes depicting violence, bloodshed, and torture, as well as the muting of certain dialogues and references to historical events.
For its regional distribution, Wayfarer Films, owned by Dulquer Salmaan, will handle the Kerala release. The film is set to be released in eight languages, including Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, Bengali, English, and Spanish.
