CM Reddy Directs Actor Nani to Police Over Premiere Plan
23 Sep
Summary
- Actor Nani seeks permission for film premiere attendance.
- CM directs Nani to apply to police for safety assessment.
- Past tragedy influences crowd management concerns at venue.
Actor Nani's desire to watch the film 'The Paradise' with the audience at Hyderabad's RTC X Roads on September 23 has led to a directive from Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. Instead of granting direct permission, Reddy has instructed Nani to submit a formal application to the local police. This request will be evaluated from a crowd-management and public-safety perspective.
The police's consideration is particularly significant due to a tragic crowd surge incident in December 2024 outside a theatre in the same area during the 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' premiere. That event resulted in one death and serious injuries, prompting wider discussions on managing large gatherings for celebrity appearances.
Nani expressed his wish to experience the film with fans, emphasizing the importance of audience reactions. He assured authorities that safety protocols would be followed. However, he has also stated his understanding of the safety concerns, especially with ongoing Ganesh Nimarjanam arrangements, and committed to respecting the police department's final decision.
'The Paradise,' starring Nani and directed by Srikanth Odela, is set to release worldwide on September 24, with the special premiere on September 23. Telangana authorities have approved the special show and adjusted ticket prices.
