Nani, also known as Ghanta Naveen Babu, is currently filming a high-energy introduction song for his upcoming film, The Paradise. The film, directed by Srikanth Odela, is generating considerable buzz, especially since it reunites Nani with the director of his previous hit movie, Dasara.
According to recent updates, a brand-new set has been constructed in Shamshabad specifically for the filming of this introduction number. The makers are aiming for this song to be a major highlight of the movie, emphasizing its importance in setting the tone for Nani's character and the film itself.
In The Paradise, Nani will be portraying the character of Jadal, described as a powerful role with intensity and mass appeal. The film is touted as a hard-hitting action drama set in Secunderabad in the late 1990s, highlighting the struggles of a marginalized tribe against discrimination. The first look of Nani as Jadal, sporting braids and body tattoos, has already created a stir among fans, indicating a bold and intense transformation for the actor.
The film also stars Kayadu Lohar as the female lead, along with Mohan Babu, Raghav Juyal, and Sampoornesh Babu in pivotal roles. Sonali Kulkarni will be playing the role of Nani's mother in the movie. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music for The Paradise, adding to the anticipation surrounding the film.
While the film was initially scheduled for release on March 26, 2026, there are reports suggesting a possible delay due to ongoing production issues and a significant budget exceeding Rs 200 crores. Some reports indicate that a considerable portion of the shooting is still pending. The makers have remained silent regarding the potential delay, leaving fans and industry insiders speculating about a new release date. If the movie is delayed, industry experts believe The Paradise may be pushed to May to take advantage of the summer holiday window.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the release date, The Paradise is expected to be a pan-India release, with versions in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and other languages. Trade experts anticipate a strong opening at the box office, potentially making it one of Nani's highest-grossing films. The Paradise is produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner.
The lack of any song releases thus far is unusual for a film of this scale, adding to the mystery surrounding the project. Nevertheless, with its powerful storyline and Nani's fierce new avatar, The Paradise promises to be a gripping cinematic experience.
