Hyderabad: Tollywood actor Nani ’s request to chief minister A Revanth Reddy for permission to watch the premiere of his upcoming film The Paradise with his fans at a theatre in RTC X Roads has hit a police hurdle, with authorities citing crowd-management and security concerns.
On Tuesday, Nani appealed to the chief minister on X, saying he wanted to watch the Sept 23 premiere with the audience at RTC X Roads, a venue he said held a special place in Hyderabad’s cinema culture. Director general of police CV Anand subsequently referred to the stampede during the Pushpa 2 premiere at Sandhya Theatre and said city police were currently preoccupied with bandobust arrangements for the Ganesh immersion .
He said a discussion would be held with Hyderabad police commissioner VC Sajjanar to assess whether providing security for Nani’s visit was feasible.
He added: “I would love to visit a theatre at RTC X Roads for the #TheParadise premiere show (23rd Sept) and experience the film with our audience, the very people we made it for.”
