The Telangana government has approved a temporary ticket price hike for Nani's upcoming film The Paradise, which releases on September 24, 2026. Single screens can charge an additional Rs 48 per ticket from September 24 to 27, while multiplexes can charge Rs 95 extra. The additional amount drops to Rs 23 for single screens and Rs 45 for multiplexes from September 28 to October 3. A special premiere on September 23 at 6:30 PM is priced at Rs 500 per ticket. Makers must contribute Rs 1 crore to the Telugu Film Industry Employees Welfare Committee.
Advance bookings for the Nizam region opened on the District app and sold over 1 lakh tickets within minutes, grossing more than Rs 1 crore. Tracktollywood reports that attention now shifts to Andhra Pradesh, where a similar approval is still awaited. The film, directed by Srikanth Odela and produced by SLV Cinemas, stars Nani, Kayadu Lohar, and Mohan Babu with music by Anirudh Ravichander.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All four outlets report the same ticket hike approval and booking data without visible slant. Tracktollywood notes the standard Rs 1 crore welfare contribution and attaches a tweet praising the advance planning, but does not editorialise elsewhere. 123telugu.com gives the film's full advance booking figures without commentary. Telugu360.com calls the hike structure "a wise decision" and "minimal", terms that appear to come from the government order rather than from the outlet. The coverage is uniform straight reporting across sources. The Rs 1 crore welfare levy and the narcotics-advertisement condition underline the leverage the state continues to hold over box-office-dependent films. The Andhra Pradesh decision is the next number to watch.
