Having just delivered a raw and energetic performance in Dasara, Natural Star Nani is once again on set with his next big film, “The Paradise.” Directed by Dasara success Srikanth Odela, the movie is already creating buzz for its grand scale and worldwide release plans.
The shooting for The Paradise commenced on June 21, and the scenes for the childhood of the protagonist character were shot first. Currently, the crew is shooting important scenes in a elaborate custom-made set in Hyderabad with a crunched 40-day schedule. Nani has also joined the shoot in the recent past, and his new on-set appearance is already trending on social media.
Director Srikanth Odela gave fans a sneak peek of Nani’s rugged new avatar through a behind-the-scenes photo. With an intense, massy makeover, Nani looks all set to portray a bold and emotionally powerful character, sparking huge anticipation for what’s to come.
Following the blockbuster triumph of Dasara, there are high stakes on this collaboration. The producers are labeling The Paradise as a trailblazer for Telugu cinema, promising an emotionally impactful story narrated on a visually grand canvas.
Joining the movie’s star power is music director Anirudh Ravichander, arguably the most popular composer in right now. With his tunes promised to be a highlight, the fans are already looking forward to catching the first glimpse of the soundtrack.
The production is financed by Sudhakar Cherukuri at a huge budget, which makes it the most expensive movie in the career of Nani so far. Although there were some changes in the technical team, the crew is completely dedicated to translating Srikanth Odela’s dream into cinematic excellence.
The Paradise is set to have a huge worldwide release on March 26, 2026, in eight languages, setting Nani up for a big leap in his pan-Indian career. If the pre-release hype is anything to go by, this may well be an actor-defining moment for Nani and one of the biggest cinematic highlights of 2026.
