Natural Star Nani’s much awaited action drama The Paradise is being readied for a theatrical release on August 21. Still, in industry talks, there’s this constant murmur that a big chunk of the shoot is yet to happen , and that alone is putting the production crew in a bit of a tight spot.
Can The Paradise Meet August 21 Deadline
Now, the fresh speculation says Netflix has already bagged the digital streaming rights for The Paradise and is, reportedly, pushing to have it hit theatres exactly as planned. Nothing has been officially pinned down yet about what’s inside the agreement, but sources claim the OTT deal may come with some release related terms.
There’s also talk that if the film slips past the announced date then there could be a reworking of the current deal. And that might, in turn, affect the overall worth of the arrangement. So naturally, the makers are said to be leaving no stone unused, trying to keep everything aligned.
Director Srikanth Odela, who made quite the impact with Dasara, is said to be keeping a close watch on every stage of the work. Apparently the team has tightened the shooting tempo and has also been planning post production carefully, so no last-minute surprises creep in.
The Paradise is among the most awaited Telugu films this year, and expectations are honestly very high. It also brings another meeting of Nani and Srikanth Odela, which is why people have been curious about this project since the announcement itself.
Even with all this buzz, the makers haven’t signaled any postponement yet and they’re still saying August 21 will hold. Whether they can finish the remaining parts within the timeline only time will tell, but for now, all eyes are on The Paradise as it sprints toward its big theatrical entry.
