When Srikanth Odela and Nani ’s second film together after Dasara (2023), The Paradise, was announced, fans were hyped to see what else the filmmaker and actor had in store. The film is finally releasing on September 24 and seems like the makers have taken the example of Yash-starrer Toxic to make sure that no defamatory content against the film is circulated after its release. Instead, they were met with multiple delays for the film’s release.
The makers also argued that the circulation of such material could cause irreversible financial damage to the film. The producer contended that the material went beyond fair criticism and amounted to targeted commercial defamation. It noted that several posts, comments and URLs containing allegedly false and derogatory material began circulating on social media after the film’s official teaser was released on August 6.
As per the latest update from Live Law, a Bengaluru court has passed an ex parte ad interim injunction restraining the circulation of allegedly false and defamatory content concerning the upcoming film The Paradise, which is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on September 24. The order was passed on September 19, 2026 by the XXXV Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru, on an application filed by the film’s producer, Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas LLP. he makers had sought a permanent and mandatory injunction against the defendants, along with the interim injunction. It was pushed due to production delays.
The plea stated that a substantial investment had been made in the production, marketing and distribution of the film. It consequently held that the balance of convenience favoured the producer. The Paradise is Nani and Srikanth Odela’s reunion after Dasara. It is produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the banner of SLV Cinemas. The film also stars Kayadu Lohar, Raghav Juyal, and Mohan Babu in lead roles. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music. The Paradise was initially scheduled for release in March, then in August.
The court also noted that unrestricted viral dissemination of the material immediately before the film’s release could cause unquantifiable and irreversible economic and reputational damage.
