The film has been generating considerable buzz since its announcement, particularly as it marks the second collaboration between Nani and director Srikanth Odela following the success of their 2023 blockbuster 'Dasara'. The official social media handles of 'The Paradise' shared a striking image from the set featuring Nani as his character 'Dhagad'. Nani's character poster from 'The Paradise'. The actor is seen standing with one foot placed atop a stack of weight plates, dressed in green leather shoes and an ornate anklet-watch combination—offering a first glimpse into the stylised world the film promises.

Weekly Horoscope 29th June to 5th July, 2025: Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces and other signs — check astrological predictions
Horoscope Today, June 29, 2025: Aries: Emotional energy propels positive progress. Taurus: Be flexible, abandon expectations for clear communication. Gemini: Listen to partners, as support may be limited. Cancer: Be cautious, prioritize your plans, respect colleagues. Leo: Manage drama, embrace family and friends. Virgo: Embrace opportunities for change, partners should allow your path. Libra: Make fundamental life reforms, gain future control. Scorpio: Avoid blunders like betraying confidence despite strong alignments. Sagittarius: Financial fantasies meet reality; travel for fulfillment. Capricorn: Embrace inspiration, don't worry about confusion. Aquarius: Implement brilliant ideas with renewed will. Pisces: Face work/career attitudes, learn from circumstances for realistic hopes. Mars, your ruling planet, is still offering you solid support, even if it is a little over-emotional. Your energy may therefore swing from one extreme to another, yet always the general movement will be in a positive, forward direction. Current communication difficulties will be eased by the relationship of Mercury to your sign, which is helping you to think clearly. Mars and Saturn, on the other hand, are sending you challenging patterns, indicating that you must take a more flexible attitude, abandoning some of your expectations. Mercury, your ruling planet, is behaving itself for once. Mind you, you might have to resign yourself to the fact that partners could disagree with you, and may even decline to offer you the support that you believe you deserve. From your point of view, it's best to listen carefully. Although your personal prospects are still looking good, and you are busier than usual, see this as a period of caution; a time to push ahead with your own plans as conscientiously as possible and to respect the fact that colleagues have their own ideas which are every bit as valid as yours. You have a natural tendency to over-dramatise situations, never more so than when an emotional planet such as Venus is creating tension and raising the passionate temperature. Deal with personal problems correctly and the coming period will be a time to rejoice in the company of your family and friends. Judging from your solar chart, it seems unlikely that a major upheaval is on the way. Instead, you'll be presented with a series of opportunities to breathe fresh air into situations which you have sometimes found restrictive. Partners must allow you to find your own way and travel in a direction which suits you. The group of planets which will be aligned with your sign over the coming months is urging you to make fundamental reforms in your whole life. However, your experience, wisdom and maturity mean that, in the future, you will have much greater control over the final outcome of your actions. This week is not exactly set to be a time of peace and quiet, at least not as far as the celestial spheres are concerned. You have everything going for you, yet somewhere along the line it looks as if you might make a blunder, perhaps betraying a confidence or revealing secret plans. Mars is still the critical factor, driving you forward with its relentless power. Yet possibly your major period is mid-week when your financial fantasies will collide with the real world. Hopefully, the result will be a profit! You may have to travel in search of social or romantic fulfilment. Solar patterns bring to mind the ancient proverb to the effect that, if you think you are confused, you shouldn't worry because the next person is probably much more muddled than you are. In fact, this is a period of supreme inspiration, so dream your dreams, and see where your imagination leads. You should follow your ruling planet's down-to-earth disposition by making more effort to implement your plans. Too often, you have had ideas which can only be described as brilliant, but have lacked the will or the ability to put them into practice. Now is the time to change for the better. Mars is still making its prolonged passage through sensitive regions of your chart, forcing you to face up to your attitude to work, career questions and adventurous ambitions. It does look as if some of your hopes have been realistic just as long as you are prepared to learn from circumstances.

Antony Varghese recounts scary flight experience after wrapping 'I'm Game' second schedule
Antony Varghese recently recollected a harrowing flight experience after concluding the second production schedule of his upcoming film, I'm Game, in Hyderabad. The actor's journey back to Kochi turned into an unexpected ordeal. "Still in awe of what happened yesterday," Antony wrote on Instagram. "After wrapping up the shoot for I'm Game, I boarded Indigo 6E 6707 from Hyderabad to Kochi. What seemed like a routine flight turned into something straight out of a movie." When the Indigo flight approached Kochi, the weather took a dramatic turn. Antony detailed the suspenseful moments: "As we approached Kochi, the weather turned wild. The first landing attempt was aborted just a few feet above the runway. The second try was even more intense, we were right there, almost touching down, when the pilot made a split-second decision to pull up and not land. Without even brushing the runway, she lifted the aircraft back into the skies. Goosebumps." Antony lauded the professionalism of the crew during the crisis. "With incredible calm and clarity, she diverted the flight to Coimbatore for refueling. You could feel the tension in the cabin, people were panicked, shaken. But the way the crew, all women, handled the situation was nothing short of inspiring." After the diversion and refueling in Coimbatore, the flight successfully took off again and landed safely in Kochi. Antony described the collective relief in the cabin: "After refueling, we took off again and finally landed safely in Kochi. As soon as the wheels touched down, the cabin erupted into applause." Antony concluded his account with a heartfelt tribute to the flight crew. "To the phenomenal women in the cockpit and the cabin, your quick decisions, precision, and professionalism turned a terrifying situation into a moment of deep respect and gratitude. Thank you for showing us what true grace under pressure looks like." Nahas Hidhayath, known for RDX, directs I'm Game, a film billed as a mass entertainer with a significant sports element. The film is a collaborative effort, with Sajeer Baba, Bilal Moidu, and Ismail Aboobacker scripting it, and Aadarsh Sukumaran and Shahabas Rasheed penning the dialogues. The cast also includes Tamil actor-director Mysskin, Kathir, and Samyuktha Viswanathan. Jimshi Khalid serves as cinematographer, Jakes Bejoy as music director, Chaman Chakko as editor, Anbariv as action choreographers, and Ajayan Chalissery as production designer. Dulquer Salmaan and Jom Varghese are producing it under the Wayfarer Films banner. I'm Game will see a multi-language release, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada, in addition to Malayalam.
