The Paradise has an A certificate. Apparently.

IANS reported the CBFC clearance through unnamed industry sources. The makers have not confirmed it, and the accessible CBFC record is for a promotional song.

A cartoon outside a certification office shows an empty feature-film file marked “Feature certificate?”, a smaller promotional-song file stamped “UA 13+”, and a winding sign pointing uncertainly toward “A certificate”.

The reported certificate has not yet taken the paperwork route into the public record.

Nani’s The Paradise is scheduled to release on September 24, 2026. Its reported “A” certificate, however, remains a report about a certificate rather than the certificate itself.

IANS said unnamed industry sources claimed the Srikanth Odela-directed film had been cleared by the CBFC with an “A” rating and a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes. NDTV repeated the claim, while noting that the makers had not officially announced the clearance or disclosed whether any scenes were changed or removed. The paperwork is taking the scenic route.

The accessible CBFC record found for The Paradise is for its promotional song, “Aaya Sher”, certified UA 13+ on March 16, 2026. It is not a feature-film certificate. The CBFC’s guidance says an “A” certificate restricts a film to adult audiences. For now, the film’s release date has been publicly reaffirmed; its reported certificate still has no public certificate number, date or feature-film entry behind it.
