Nani's The Paradise Eyes ₹50 Ticket Hike Ahead of September 24 Release

Natural Star Nani's upcoming film The Paradise is set for a theatrical release on September 24, and the makers have officially applied for a ₹50 ticket price hike in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. This move comes as the film, touted as the biggest project in Nani's career, nears completion with post-production activities underway.

The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, features Kayadu Lohar as the female lead and music by Anirudh. The decision to seek a ticket hike was influenced by suggestions from distributors and exhibitors, who recommended a ₹50 increase but cautioned against a steeper hike to avoid potential controversies. The application for the revised ticket pricing is currently under review, with official orders expected next week.

Earlier coverage highlighted that The Paradise is not only the most expensive film in Nani's filmography but also a major release for the Telugu industry this season. The makers have opted not to release a traditional trailer, focusing instead on music promotions, with more songs expected to drop soon. Nani is also preparing to launch an extensive promotional campaign in the days leading up to the release.

With the release date approaching, industry watchers are keenly observing how the ticket pricing decision will impact the film's box office prospects in both Telugu states. The outcome of the ticket hike application is anticipated to shape the film's opening weekend performance.
