There is growing buzz that Paradise, starring Nani and directed by Srikanth Odela, could be pushed by a week due to the incomplete post-production work.
However, the team is working aggressively to stick to the September 24 release date as originally planned. Pulling off the deadline, though, remains a herculean task.
The situation becomes more complicated with Venkatesh and Trivikram’s Adarsha Kutumbam, which is currently scheduled for an October 2 release.
The team behind the film is reportedly not keen on vacating the date, leaving little room for Paradise to consider a delay.
Adding to the pressure is the OTT agreement, which reportedly requires the film to release within September, leaving the makers with little room to push the release beyond the month.
This uncertainty over the release dates has once again created tension among buyers and exhibitors.
With major films competing for prime dates, distributors are closely watching how the situation unfolds, as even a one-week shift could significantly alter the release landscape.
As per buyers, Paradise is currently expected to enjoy a solo release, giving the film a clear window to perform without direct competition from other major releases.
This reason is believed to be one of the key reasons the makers are pushing hard to meet the September 24 deadline, apart from OTT deadline as well.
For now, the team appears determined to release Paradise on September 24 itself.
While the post-production schedule makes the target extremely challenging, the makers are leaving no stone unturned to avoid a postponement and preserve the film’s much-awaited solo release window.
