Nani’s The Paradise is heading towards release on September 24 with extraordinary momentum, and all signs point to a career-best opening for the actor. Mounted on a grand scale, the film has generated massive anticipation across domestic and overseas markets, making it one of the most discussed Telugu releases of the year.


The excitement is particularly visible in the United States, where advance sales have been accelerating rapidly. Trade circles expect the film to comfortably cross the $1.5 million mark in premieres and opening-day collections, a remarkable feat for a Nani-starrer. 


The strong response reflects the growing popularity of the actor among overseas Telugu audiences. Back home, the situation is equally encouraging. Although bookings are currently active in only a portion of the total screens, ticket sales have already shown impressive traction.

More theatres are expected to join the booking network over the next couple of days, which could further strengthen the film’s prospects. Industry observers believe The Paradise is poised to rewrite Nani’s personal box-office records. 


His previous best opening came with Dasara, which made Rs 24 crore net on day one, but early indicators suggest The Paradise will open on an entirely different level and will make Rs 30 crore on day one. 


The opening weekend now looks set to be massive. If the content connects with audiences and generates strong word of mouth, The Paradise could emerge as one of the biggest successes in Nani’s career and potentially deliver the Rs 100 crore mark in just three days.
