Actress Mounika Reddy has revealed she backed out of Nani's upcoming film The Paradise after being unable to perform scenes with strong abusive language. In a recent interview, she said the script contained harsh expletives she could not bring herself to say, and she walked away from the audition after one attempt. The film's first glimpse included a profanity-laced dialogue that sparked discussion. Directed by Srikanth Odela, The Paradise is expected to feature intense violence and raw language. It stars Nani, Kayadu Lohar, Sonali Kulkarni, and Mohan Babu, and is scheduled for release on 24 September.
