The internet went wild when the first glimpse of The Paradise, featuring Natural Star Nani, was unveiled recently. Directed by the imaginative Srikanth Odela, the film promised a daring and original storyline, with Nani transformed into a striking, rugged character unlike any he had portrayed before.
In an exclusive interview with Variety, Nani expressed his deep belief that The Paradise was India’s equivalent of Mad Max. He described the film’s tone as wild and unfiltered, yet beautifully interwoven with a sense of poetic justice.
Srikanth Odela had crafted the story around a fictional figure rising to power in the 1960s, someone who brought light to the lives of the oppressed. He aimed to present the character, and the film itself, in its most unpolished and authentic form. He explained that his goal was to create one of the most genuine, fearless, and honest Indian films ever made.
The team revealed that filming for this much-awaited project would kick off soon. To captivate audiences worldwide, the makers planned to release it in international languages, including Spanish.
SLV Cinemas, led by Sudhakar Cherukuri, was backing the venture with ambitions to make it a cinematic milestone. Anirudh Ravichander was set to compose the film’s music, adding another layer of excitement. The movie was scheduled to storm theaters globally on March 26, 2026.
