The Paradise Gets A Certification, Nani Starrer Unveils 3rd Single Anjaana Anjaani Ahead of Sept 24, 2026 Rele

The Paradise, starring Nani and directed by Srikanth Odela, has earned an A certificate and is set for a September 24, 2026 release. The news comes as the makers unveiled the film’s third track, Anjaana Anjaani, composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

In addition to the certification, the film’s runtime has been finalized at 2 hours and 54 minutes after a series of adjustments—reported to total 21 corrections. The confirmation of the certificate and the new runtime together mark a key milestone as the project moves toward theatres.

The film’s third single, Anjaana Anjaani, is described as a romantic track composed by Anirudh Ravichander, with vocals by Anirudh himself alongside Sublahshini and lyrics by Kittu Vissapragada. Tamil and Hindi versions of the song were also unveiled alongside the Telugu version.

The makers released the teaser a few days earlier, offering high-octane action and glimpses of a wide ensemble cast, including Raghav Juyal, Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Tanikella Bharani, Sonali Kulkarni, Sampoornesh Babu, and Eeshwari Rao in pivotal roles. Watch the teaser video.

Initially slated for an August 2026 release, The Paradise was postponed to September 24, with premieres planned for September 23.

Nani’s recent work includes HIT: The Third Case, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, the third instalment in the HIT franchise, which featured Srinidhi Shetty as the female lead and a cameo by Karthi, hinting at the franchise’s next chapter. Reports also tie Nani to the action entertainer Bloody Romeo, directed by Sujeeth, though the project has faced delays as the director may shift to OG 2 before proceeding. There are unconfirmed whispers that Prithviraj Sukumaran could be involved in Bloody Romeo, but no official confirmation has been announced.

The latest confirmed takeaway is that The Paradise will release on September 24, 2026, with an A certificate, and new track Anjaana Anjaani already circulating in multiple language versions.
