Nani’s The Paradise continues to generate buzz, with the film becoming a talking point among audiences and on social media. Despite mixed-to-negative reviews, the movie has reportedly crossed the ₹100 crore worldwide gross mark.

Now, the film has caught the attention of BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao (KTR), who revealed that he would be watching The Paradise in a theatre. KTR said that he is returning to a theatre after several years to watch a film on the big screen, particularly for Nani and director Srikanth Odela.

Priyadarshi’s MLA Role Sparks KCR Comparisons

Meanwhile, one particular sequence from The Paradise has become a talking point among audiences in Telangana. Priyadarshi’s portrayal of an MLA has drawn comparisons with former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), particularly because of the character’s appearance, mannerisms and dialogue delivery.

The sequence appears in the second half when Priyadarshi’s character is introduced as an MLA. Some viewers have interpreted the portrayal as a reference to KCR’s political persona and his reputation for standing by his words.

The scene has received additional attention among BRS supporters amid the ongoing political exchanges between the Congress government led by Revanth Reddy and the BRS leadership.

With KTR now set to watch the film, audiences are curious to see whether he reacts to the Priyadarshi episode or shares his thoughts about the film after the screening.

The Paradise Review

According to the makers, The Paradise has crossed the ₹100 crore mark, registering a worldwide gross of ₹114 crore+ in just two days. With this achievement, the Srikanth Odela directorial has reportedly become the fastest film in Nani’s career to enter the ₹100 crore club.

The film is showing strong performance across the Telugu states, while also making an impact in overseas markets, other South Indian states, and the Hindi belt. The strong response across multiple territories has helped the movie maintain impressive momentum during its opening weekend.

The overseas performance has also been noteworthy. The Paradise has reportedly crossed $1.7 million in North America and is now nearing the $2 million mark. With bookings for Day 3 remaining strong, the film is expected to continue its box-office momentum through the weekend.

Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, The Paradise is now heading into a crucial weekend. If the current trend continues, the film could post massive first-weekend numbers, further strengthening its position at the box office.

Rajinikanth’s star power continues to make a strong impact in the Telugu market. Jailer 2 is already making headlines in trade circles, with the film’s Telugu States theatrical rights reportedly being closed for a massive ₹45 crore. Producer Naga Vamsi is said to have bagged the deal, reflecting the strong market value attached to the Superstar’s film.

The overseas business has added another major figure to the equation. Shloka Entertainments has reportedly acquired the overseas theatrical rights for territories including North America, the UK, Europe, Africa, Sri Lanka and Nepal for around ₹47.5 crore. Together, the reported Telugu States and overseas deals take the business value beyond ₹90 crore.

North America remains one of the key territories, with its rights alone reportedly valued at around ₹28 crore. The reported break-even target in the territory is said to be approximately $7 million, putting considerable pressure on the film to deliver strong theatrical numbers.

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Jailer 2 is scheduled for a October 15, 2026 theatrical release. The sequel brings back Rajinikanth as Muthuvel Pandian, with the franchise carrying considerable expectations following the success of the first part.

The release date also sets up an interesting Telugu market scenario. Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s Ranabaali is scheduled to arrive on October 16, just a day after Jailer 2. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, the film is expected to add further competition during the festive release window.

Before both these films, Venkatesh and Trivikram’s Adarsha Kutumbam AK47 is scheduled to release on October 9 under Haarika & Hassine Creations. With multiple major films arriving within a short span, October 2026 is turning into a packed month for Tollywood, with trade circles closely watching the theatrical performance of these high-profile releases.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar is once again making headlines for his direct response to a question on terrorism. During a media event at the United Nations headquarters in New York, Jaishankar responded sharply after a Pakistani journalist raised an allegation against India.

Jaishankar was addressing an official press briefing alongside Liberia’s foreign minister on shipping safety when the incident occurred. Towards the end of the event, a Pakistani reporter interrupted from the audience and questioned when the Indian government would stop what he described as sponsoring terrorist activities inside Pakistan.

Jaishankar immediately hit back with a pointed response, saying, “A terrorist country is asking me that question. Come on.” His brief exchange with the journalist quickly drew attention, with clips of the moment circulating widely on social media.

The incident reportedly took place during an event that was not scheduled as a conventional question-and-answer session. The exchange has since become a talking point online, particularly in the context of the long-running diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan.

Jaishankar is leading India’s delegation during the high-level week of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, where India is engaging with international leaders and representatives on a range of global issues.
