Why This Matters
The request has attracted attention because Nani wants to attend the premiere at a location known for large crowds during major film releases. The decision will also be assessed in the context of previous crowd-safety concerns at Hyderabad theatre events.
The Paradise, directed by Srikanth Odela and starring Nani, is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on September 24. Telangana authorities have also approved a special premiere show on September 23.
The final decision on whether Nani can attend the RTC X Roads screening will depend on the police assessment of security, traffic and crowd-management arrangements.
