'The Paradise' Clears Censor Board With 'A' Certificate as Advance Bookings Soar
Nani's 'The Paradise' clears CBFC with an 'A' certificate ahead of its Sept 24 release, with advance bookings pointing to a potential ₹50 crore opening day.
Telugu star Nani's highly anticipated action drama "The Paradise" has cleared a major pre-release milestone, receiving an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The certification arrived just over a week before the film's worldwide theatrical release, confirming a final runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes.
The 'A' rating restricts theatrical screenings to adult audiences only, reflecting the film's intense, action-heavy content. As of now, the makers have not issued any official statement regarding the certification, and details of any cuts mandated by the board, if applicable, have not been made public.
A Demanding Project for Nani
Ahead of the film's release, Nani has been candid about the toll the project took on him personally, describing "The Paradise" as the most demanding production of his 18-year career. Speaking at a press interaction, he said, "The Paradise is the most tiring film of my career, both physically and mentally. If there has been a film for which I have worked very hard in these 18 years of my film career, it is The Paradise." This level of personal investment adds significant weight to pre-release expectations, particularly given his established track record in the action genre following "Dasara."
