Natural Star Nani is on a signing spree, delivering back-to-back projects that are keeping his fans excited. With HIT 3, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, already wrapped up and gearing up for a summer release, Nani has also announced The Paradise, a raw and intense drama helmed by Dasara director Srikanth Odela. The film’s title announcement glimpse has created a strong buzz, heightening anticipation for Nani’s never-before-seen role.
Now, there is a curious update doing the rounds in Tollywood circles. It is learned that experienced actor and director R. Narayanamurthy has been asked to play an important role in The Paradise. A recent image of Srikanth Odela meeting the evergreen actor went viral on social media platforms and sparked speculations that the director has invited him to play a key character in the film.
What adds more thrill to this piece of news is Narayanamurthy’s selective attitude towards cinema. His reputation for associating with socially conscious and radical films under his production house, Sneha Chitra Pictures, he has approached roles outside the production house extremely sparingly. In fact, it is also reported that Puri Jagannadh once came to him for the role undertaken by Posani Krishna Murali in Temper, but was turned down by him.
With The Paradise being a promising hard-hitting and gripping story, will R. Narayanamurthy venture out of his comfort zone and take up the role, or will he continue his own brand of filmmaking? Fans and film enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for a confirmation. Watch this space for more!
