Nani’s The Paradise is set for a grand theatrical release on September 24, 2026, with the Telangana government approving increased ticket prices and special premiere shows planned across South India on September 23.
The Paradise Gets Telangana Ticket Price Hike
Nani’s much-awaited action drama The Paradise is gearing up for its theatrical release on September 24, with the Telangana government permitting a temporary increase in ticket prices. According to the government order, single-screen theatres can charge an additional Rs 48, including GST, while multiplexes and special theatres can collect an extra Rs 95 from September 24 to 27. This takes ticket prices during the first four days to around Rs 225 in single screens and Rs 390 in multiplexes, with the revised rates applicable for five shows per day. From September 28 to October 3, the permitted hike will reduce to Rs 23 for single screens and Rs 45 for multiplexes, bringing reported ticket rates to around Rs 200 and Rs 340 respectively.
Special Premieres Planned Across South India
Ahead of the regular release, the makers have organised special premiere shows across the South on September 23 at 9 PM, with advance bookings already opening at select locations. Telangana will also have a special 6:30 PM show on September 23, priced at Rs 500 per ticket. Special screenings are also being planned in cities including Chennai and Bengaluru, adding to the excitement surrounding the film. A similar ticket-pricing order is also expected from the Andhra Pradesh government, although details are yet to be officially announced.
Government Sets Conditions for Special Pricing
As part of its approval, the Telangana Home Department has directed Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Cinemas to contribute Rs 1 lakh to the Telugu Film Industry Employees Welfare Committee for the benefit of film-industry workers and employees. Theatre managements have also been instructed to screen public-awareness advertisements highlighting the harmful effects of narcotics and drugs, along with messages related to cybercrime prevention, during the film’s theatrical run.

Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise marks his second collaboration with Nani after Dasara. The film features Nani in the lead, with Kayadu Lohar, Raghav Juyal, Mohan Babu, Sonali Kulkarni and Sampoornesh Babu in important roles. Keerthy Suresh will make a special appearance. With premium ticket pricing, extensive premiere plans and growing advance-booking interest, The Paradise is preparing for a wide theatrical launch across multiple South Indian markets on September 24.
