The Paradise: Days Before Release, Court Restrains Circulation of Defamatory Content Against Nani-Starrer
The court said the material appeared aimed at tarnishing the film’s reputation and could cause irreversible economic damage, Live Law News reported.
On September 19, 2026, the XXXV Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge in Bengaluru issued an ex parte interim injunction restraining circulation of allegedly defamatory content regarding the upcoming Nani-starrer, The Paradise.
Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Cinemas LLP sought the order after derogatory posts appeared on social media following the official teaser release on August 6, 2026.
Judges noted that unchecked circulation could cause irreversible commercial and reputational damage, observing the material appeared to go beyond artistic evaluation and aimed at diminishing the film's commercial value.
Restricting specific URLs identified in the plaint, the order remains in force until the next hearing on October 28, 2026, while explicitly allowing bona fide public reviews and genuine criticism.
Mirroring a similar injunction granted for Toxic ahead of its August 26, 2026 release, this action precedes The Paradise's worldwide theatrical release on September 24, 2026, signaling judicial protection of film releases.
