Nani Says ‘The Paradise’ Court Order is For AI Bots, Not Real People: ‘It’s Not For Real Criticism’
Actor Nani is clearing the air about the recent court order issued by a Bengaluru civil court, which granted an interim injunction restraining specific targeted, derogatory URLs and possible review bombing of “The Paradise”. The Telugu film, all set to release on September 24, has barred excessive review/ reactions about the project.
As part of the order reported by Bar and Bench, social media platforms, including X, and other online entities are to refrain from hosting, sharing, or disseminating targeted derogatory content against the film.

Talking at a recent promotional event in Mumbai, Nani clarified that the order was not aimed at real people talking about the film. He said, “It’s not for real people or real reviews. It is for the bot-generated thing as far as I have understood.”
He explained that after consulting his team about it, he realized that it was a call against reviews written by Artificial Intelligence, “I saw the news on court order and asked one of my team members about it. They said that now, because of AI, there are computer-generated stuff that it will keep posting.”
