Nani, celebrated as the Natural Star in Telugu cinema, is preparing for a major box office assault with his upcoming film, The Paradise. Directed by Srikanth Odela, who is known for creating mass-appeal characters, the film has already begun making waves internationally even before its release. Pre-sales in North America have surged past the US$150,000 mark in record time, making The Paradise the fastest Telugu film to reach this milestone in the region.
The production team, led by Sudhakar Cherukuri, recently wrapped up shooting and is now focused on post-production. The first half of the film has been locked, with acclaimed composer Anirudh Ravichander working on the background score. Editing for the second half is progressing swiftly, alongside VFX and sound design, with simultaneous work happening for multiple language versions.
A new poster featuring Nani in a striking mass avatar—covered in white paint and wielding a double barrel gun—has captured attention online, fueling anticipation for the film’s theatrical release. The cast also features Mohan Babu, Kayadu Lohar, Raghav Juyal, and Sampoornesh Babu in key roles.
The soundtrack has already struck a chord with audiences, as songs like Aaya Sher and Yasha Nagula have become chartbusters, amplifying the buzz around the film. The teaser’s intense action glimpses have further raised expectations. The Paradise is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on September 24, 2026, across multiple languages, with the makers promising a never-before-seen experience for moviegoers.
