The Paradise Postponed for Five Months

Despite the makers’ announcement of March 26, 2026, as the release date for Nani and Srikanth Odela’s much-awaited film The Paradise, several rumors suggested that the film might be postponed. Those speculations have now turned out to be true. The team has officially confirmed that The Paradise will no longer be released in March and has been pushed to August.

Due to delays in the shooting schedule, the film has been postponed by five months, from March 26 to August 21. Now, Nani’s biggest film to date is all set to hit theaters worldwide on August 21, 2026.

August 21 is considered a golden release date for The Paradise. With no major competition, a favorable festive season, and the advantage of three strong weekends, the film is expected to have a solid run at the box office. The holiday lineup further strengthens its prospects:

The Paradise Release Shifts to August – Box Office Storm is on the Way

  • August 26 – Onam / Milad
  • August 28 – Raksha Bandhan
  • September 4 – Janmashtami

The Paradise will release simultaneously in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, English, and Spanish. Kayadu Lohar plays the female lead, while Mohan Babu, Raghav Juyal, Babu Mohan, and Sampoornesh Babu appear in key roles. The music is composed by Anirudh, and the film is produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner.

Sree Vishnu’s Two Films Hitting Theatres on the Same Date This Month

In an interesting development, actor Sree Vishnu is set to release two of his upcoming films, Mrityunjay and Vishnu Vinyasam, on the same day, February 27, 2026. The last time this happened was in 2015, when Nani had two releases, Yevade Subramanyam and Jenda Pai Kapiraju, on a single day.

Both films are produced by different banners, and their business deals, especially OTT agreements, are completely separate. If one film is postponed, the producer will have to renegotiate several deals, which could lead to financial losses. That is said to be the main reason why both films are sticking to the same release date.

Vishnu Vinyasam, directed by debutant Yadunaath Maruthi Rao, revolves around a man who is deeply obsessed with astrology and superstition. Nayan Sarika plays the female lead opposite Sree Vishnu, and the film is produced by Sumanth Naidu G.

On the other hand, Mrityunjay is an investigative thriller directed by Hussain Sha Kiran. The film stars Sree Vishnu in the lead role, with Reba Monica John playing a police officer named Seetha Parasuram.

As of now, neither film appears willing to step back from the February 27, 2026, release date. If things remain unchanged, Sree Vishnu will have the rare achievement of releasing two films on the same day.

2027: The Year of Stars – Except Ram Charan

After directors and heroes started focusing on pan-Indian films post Baahubali, big star films are not releasing regularly. Usually, only 2–3 big star films release in a year. Coming to 2027, nearly all top stars are expected to release their movies, except for Ram Charan.

Pawan Kalyan’s film with Surender Reddy is also planned for the first half of the year. Allu Arjun’s film with Atlee is expected to release in the second half. Prbahas’s Fauzi also may hit thetares in 2027 only.

Along with these, senior stars like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Nagarjuna, and Venkatesh are also expected to release their films in 2027. Young heroes and Tier-2 stars are also targeting 2027 for their releases.

Ram Charan will not have any release in 2027 as he will be working with Sukumar for his next film, and the shoot starts in the second half, the release will most likely be in 2028.

Prime Video to Bag Allu Arjun–Atlee Film?

Normally, for most pan-Indian films, Netflix is the number one option as the digital partner. But for AA22, Allu Arjun–Atlee’s big-budget film, Prime Video is more likely to bag the deal. This is not official news, but the buzz is going strong among the industry circles.

There are two main reasons. First, recently most Sun Pictures films’ streaming rights have been acquired by Prime Video. The production house has a strong collaboration with Prime Video.

Second, Netflix has already bagged , or is in talks for several big films slated for 2027, such as Dragon, Spirit, Varanasi, and Fauzi. They are already investing huge amounts in these projects.

For the Allu Arjun–Atlee film, OTT platforms will have to offer a very big amount. Netflix may not go aggressively for it, as they have already locked several biggies.

Meanwhile, Prime Video shares a good association with Sun Pictures and is unlikely to miss out on a massive film like AA22, Allu Arjun–Atlee project.

There are still some negotiations happening, as OTT platforms are not offering expected prices for every film. But 99%, the OTT deal is likely to go to Prime Video.

Fans Fire on Peddi Makers

Ram Charan fans were delighted to learn that the second single from Peddi would arrive on Valentine’s Day or that weekend. But they are now very frustrated with the film’s team, as the latest news is that the song’s release will be delayed.

This delay from the Peddi team is frustrating Ram Charan fans and other neutral audiences as well.
