Nani to skip RTC X Roads visit for The Paradise premiers

Nani's The Paradise directed by Srikanth Odela is releasing on 24 Sep 2026. The film's premiers are planned one day earlier in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh fon 23 Sep 2026.

Nani earlier requested Telangana CM Revanth Reddy to faclilitate his visit to the RTC X Roads to watch The Paradise premiers with fans. He posted "Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @revanth_anumula Garu, Hon’ble Minister of Cinematography Shri @KomatireddyKVR Garu & the respected officials of @TelanganaCOPs.This is a request from a fan of cinema and, more importantly, someone who has enjoyed cinema at its very best from a very young age.For me, cinema has always been about watching it together with people who love it just as much as I do. And in Hyderabad, that experience has a special place at RTC X Roads. I would love to visit a theatre at RTC X Roads for #TheParadise premiere show (23rd Sept) and experience the film with our audience, the very people we made it for.I believe the ultimate satisfaction of making a film lies in sitting among the audience and experiencing their response to it.We will, follow all the necessary protocols and safety guidelines in place. That will be our priority.I hope you will kindly consider my request. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Nani."

Revanth Reddy, CM of Telangana also responted "We appreciate your respect for safety guidelines, @NameisNani, and your commitment for the film directed by our talented young Telangana director, @odela_srikanth.To ensure seamless crowd management and public safety, please submit an official application to the designated local police station. The concerned team will review the application and take a decision accordingly.@TelanganaDGP"

Now it seems Nani, decided against going to the theatre and posted "Thank you for your prompt response, Hon’ble Chief Minister
@revanth_anumula Garu.We completely understand the importance of public safety, especially with the Ganesh Nimarjanam arrangements. We would not want to add any burden to the police department or cause any inconvenience to the ongoing arrangements.We will respect and abide by the final decision of the police department. If there are any complications from a safety or crowd-management perspective, we will completely understand and be happy to skip the visit.Thank you once again for your consideration and guidance sir."

One still cannot forget the stampede incident and the subsequent death when Allu Arjun graced the premiers of his film Pushpa The Rule at Sandhya Theatre, Hyderabad.
