By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 19 Sept 2026 1:31 PM ISTThese days, getting a ticket price hike for a big movie in Telangana seems to involve more than just making a request. Along with the usual permissions, filmmakers are also being asked to take part in public awareness activities. This has now become a talking point around Nani’s upcoming film The Paradise.
Nani’s The Paradise is scheduled to release on September 24. As the release date is getting closer, the makers are working on permissions for higher ticket prices in Telangana.
As part of this process, the makers have released a special video featuring Nani. The video focuses on cybercrime, especially fake investment apps and online investment scams. Nani appears to create awareness among people about the risks of trusting such platforms.
The video has attracted attention because of its timing. The makers reportedly followed the directions connected to the permission process for the film. The development has led to discussions among movie lovers about whether awareness videos and similar public-service activities are slowly becoming part of the process for getting ticket price hikes in Telangana.
For big-budget films, higher ticket prices can be an important part of the release strategy. Producers often approach the government for permission to increase ticket rates, especially during the first few days of release. However, such permissions can come with certain conditions or public-interest initiatives.
In the case of The Paradise, the cybercrime awareness video has now become a talking point. Instead of simply promoting the movie, Nani is seen using his popularity to deliver a message about fake investment applications and online fraud.
The timing is also interesting because The Paradise is preparing for a major theatrical release. The film has already generated considerable curiosity among audiences because of Nani, director Srikanth Odela and the expectations surrounding their project.
Now, all eyes are on whether the makers will officially receive permission for increased ticket prices in Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana.
If ticket prices are increased, audiences may have to spend more to watch the film during the initial days.
