Overview
- The team announced Friday that The Paradise will premiere on September 23 and release in cinemas on September 24 without a traditional theatrical trailer.
- Producers and Nani said the decision is procedural: they did not want to pull director Srikanth Odela, composer Anirudh Ravichander or post-production crews away from finishing the final cut to assemble a trailer.
- The final cut has been locked at two hours and 49 minutes and the film has an 'A' certificate; the makers also denied viral claims that the film contains underwater sequences or a 1,000-person fight.
- The project will release in multiple languages but the team has rejected a 'pan-India' label and positioned the film as Telugu-first.
- Unverified reports of a roughly ₹150 crore budget and outreach for an international presenter have circulated, leaving significant commercial stakes and making early audience word-of-mouth likely crucial to the film’s success.
