Nani’s ‘The Paradise’ First Glimpse Ignites Excitement with Intense Action

Ever since the initial glimpse of The Paradise was unveiled, anticipation has soared. Now, with the release of more footage, excitement has reached new heights.

The makers have shared an electrifying video featuring Nani’s intense entry, accompanied by a powerful background score, setting the tone for an action-packed thriller.

Fans Call It “Oscar-Worthy”

Social media has been flooded with reactions, with fans praising both Nani and director Srikanth Odela. One fan expressed, “Aap ka League alag Hai @NameisNani.”

Another user called the teaser “pure cinematic insanity—breathtaking visuals paired with Srikanth Odela’s unmistakable directorial signature.”

Some fans have even described it as “Oscar-worthy” due to its gripping narrative and raw intensity.

The Paradise is set for a massive release across multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, English, Spanish, Bengali, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The Kannada, Malayalam, and Bengali versions of the teaser will be released soon, ensuring a global reach.

Debate Over Language in the Teaser

Following his blockbuster Dasara, Nani has teamed up once again with director Srikanth Odela for The Paradise. The teaser, released with great fanfare, has quickly sparked debate due to its bold content.

The teaser features a voiceover by the protagonist’s mother, introducing him with an expletive-laden phrase. Additionally, Nani is seen with a tattoo of the same word on his hand. This has led to mixed reactions on social media.

While some viewers argue that such language in mainstream cinema could set a wrong precedent, especially for younger audiences, others believe that cinema is purely a medium of entertainment and should not be taken as a moral compass.

Comparisons have been drawn to films like Arjun Reddy and Animal, suggesting that audiences should not view films as direct influences on real life.

Nani’s Bold Transformation

Amidst the controversy, Nani is being praised for choosing such a daring role and sporting a distinctive look for the film.

Regardless of differing opinions, The Paradise has certainly captured public attention, generating widespread discussion on social media.

This buzz is expected to translate into a strong opening at the box office.

A Dark and Gritty Narrative

The first glimpse of The Paradise was revealed on Monday, showcasing a raw and intense portrayal of Nani’s character.

The teaser introduces a forgotten tribe in Hyderabad, likened to crows—outcasts relegated to the margins of society for centuries.

Nani’s character, a member of this tribe, is shown with twin braids, rallying his people with a war cry.

The dark and gripping setting, combined with Anirudh Ravichander’s powerful background score, hints at an action thriller that embraces both intense language and violence.

The Team Behind The Paradise

Marking Nani’s second collaboration with Srikanth Odela after Dasara (2023), the film signifies a major shift in his career from family-friendly roles to high-intensity action.

The film boasts an impressive technical team, including cinematography by GK Vishnu, editing by National Award-winner Navin Nooli, and production design by Avinash Kolla.

The screenplay has been crafted by Srikanth Odela, Arjuna Paturi, Vamshi Krishna Pinnika, Vasanth Masadi, Bala Ganesh K, with dialogues by Thota Srinivas and Ajju Mahakali.

Additional screenplay contributions have been made by Vinay Sagar Jonnala and Madhava Murthy Bojanapu.

Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV Cinemas, The Paradise is set to hit theaters on March 26, 2026.

Upcoming Projects for Nani

Meanwhile, Nani’s upcoming film, HIT: The Third Case, recently released a new teaser featuring intense action sequences.

Scheduled for release on May 1, the film features Nani alongside Srinidhi Shetty, Surya Srivastava, Adil Pala, Rao Ramesh, and Brahmaji.

Additionally, Nani was recently seen in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, an action drama that had a moderate run at the box office.

The Social Media Debate

The teaser of The Paradise has sparked discussions, especially regarding its use of explicit language. The tagline, “Oka LaKoduku Katha,” has stirred mixed reactions.

While some argue that profanity in films should not be normalized, others from Telangana defend the usage, stating that such words are part of everyday slang and should not be considered offensive.

Neither Nani nor Srikanth Odela has publicly addressed the controversy.

Nani’s Statement on the Film

In the teaser, Nani’s character, with twin braids, is seen preparing to protect his people from powerful adversaries.

As his mother narrates his story, he braces for battle to safeguard his community. The teaser was released under the title “A Raw Statement.”

Sharing the teaser on social media, Nani wrote, “This is our STATEMENT. THE PARADISE WILL RISE. @odela_srikanth & @anirudhofficial MADNESS. #TheParadise IN CINEMAS on 26th MARCH, 2026.”
