After surprising fans with a raw and intense transformation in Dasara, actor Nani is back in action with The Paradise, reuniting with director Srikanth Odela for a fresh and ambitious project. This new film is already creating buzz thanks to its intriguing teaser and hints of a powerful story set in the heart of the slums.
Unlike the usual glossy hero roles, Nani seems to be stepping into another earthy and grounded character. A recent poster from the set shows nothing more than his foot resting on heavy barbell weights, a striking image that quietly hints at his strength and dominance in a tough environment.
The film’s first schedule has kicked off in Hyderabad, with scenes focusing on the childhood portions of the story. Director Srikanth Odela, aware of the high expectations following Dasara, is taking great care with every detail. He’s promised a 40-day stretch of intense filming that will cover major sequences with the lead cast.
The makers are staying firm on the release date, confirming that The Paradise will hit cinemas on 26 March 2026 as planned. Backed by producer Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner and with music by Anirudh Ravichander, the film promises a gritty, emotionally rich drama with strong performances.
With Nani returning to this rugged world under a director who knows how to get the best out of him, The Paradise is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films in Telugu cinema’s upcoming slate.
